Beta-Hydroxy Butyrate

ACASĂ

GLOSAR CUVINTE

Beta-hydroxybutyrate is the most abundant ketone produced when the body shifts to burning fat for fuel, and is commonly measured to track ketosis.

Beta-hydroxy butyrate is one of the main ketone bodies generated by the liver during fat metabolism, used by the body as an alternative source of energy.

Alți termeni

Lean muscle mass

Lean muscle mass is the portion of body weight made up of muscle rather than fat, and preserving it is a common goal during fasting or dieting.

Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients are naturally occurring plant compounds offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, commonly found in fruits and vegetables.

Adaptive thermogenesis

Adaptive thermogenesis is the body's adjustment of energy expenditure in response to changes in calorie intake, helping regulate temperature and weight.

Ozempic

Ozempic is an injectable medicine based on semaglutide, mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes and, more recently, to control body weight in certain cases.

Endorphins

Endorphins are natural brain chemicals that ease pain and boost mood, often reported to increase during exercise or extended periods of fasting.

Ketosis

Metabolic state in which the body uses ketone bodies as the main fuel, favored by fasting and low-carb diets.

Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between defined periods of fasting and eating, rather than specifying which foods to eat.

Leptin

Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that signals fullness to the brain, helping regulate appetite, energy balance, and long-term body weight.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium that help the body stay hydrated and keep muscles and nerves functioning during fasting.

Orexine

Orexin is a brain neuropeptide that regulates appetite and alertness, with levels that typically rise during fasting to help keep you awake and focused.

Caloric restriction

Caloric restriction is the deliberate, sustained reduction of calorie intake below typical needs, often pursued for its potential health benefits.

Thermogenic effect

The thermogenic effect refers to the extra calories your body burns digesting, absorbing, and processing food after a meal, which varies by nutrient type.

Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF)

Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF) confines daily eating to a consistent window each day, aligning meal timing with the body's natural circadian rhythm.

Energetic balance

Energy balance describes the relationship between the calories you consume through food and the calories your body expends, which determines weight.

Collagen

Essential protein that provides structure to the skin, bones and joints; can also be supplemented during fasting.

Clean fasting

Clean fasting means consuming nothing but water, plain black coffee, or unsweetened tea, avoiding any calories, sweeteners, or flavoring additives.

Use of glycogen

Glycogen utilization is the process by which the body taps stored carbohydrate reserves in the liver and muscles for quick energy during fasting.

Feeding window

Permissible daily period for meals; usually 4-8 hours, favors caloric control and healthy circadian rhythm.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates fasting periods (without calories) with periods when food consumption is allowed.

Hormones of hunger

Hunger hormones, primarily ghrelin and leptin, work together to signal when the body needs food and when it has had enough, shaping eating patterns.

Glucose

Glucose is the primary sugar in the blood and the body's main energy source, with levels that typically drop and stabilize during fasting.

Digestive Enzyme

A digestive enzyme is a type of protein made by the body that speeds up the chemical breakdown of food into smaller, absorbable nutrient molecules.

Chrononutrition

Chrononutrition is the study and practice of timing meals to match the body's natural circadian rhythm, aiming to improve digestion and metabolic health.

Duration of fasting

Fasting duration is the length of time spent without eating, ranging from a few hours in daily intermittent fasting to multiple days in extended fasts.
