Biological value

Biological value is a measure of how efficiently the body can absorb and use the protein from a given food source for growth and tissue repair.

The biological value measures how efficiently an ingested protein is used for the synthesis of body proteins.

Alți termeni

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for bone strength, immune function, and mood regulation, often obtained through sunlight and certain foods.

Quality sleep

Quality sleep refers to deep, uninterrupted rest that allows the body to fully recover, regulate hormones, and support metabolic processes tied to fasting.

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.

Jugular fasting

Jugular fasting is a specific fasting variation described as temporarily limiting venous blood flow, unlike approaches focused only on food timing.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the way the body processes glucose in the blood, leading to high blood sugar and metabolic imbalances.

Paleo diet

Also known as the “diet of the ancestors”, it is inspired by the diet of people in the Paleolithic.

Keto Diet

The ketogenic diet is a diet characterized by a very low carbohydrate intake, a moderate intake of protein and a high one of healthy fats.

Clean fasting

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

Circadian rhythm

The circadian rhythm is the body's internal 24-hour clock that governs sleep, hormones, and metabolism, and can be influenced by when you eat.

Metabolic oxidation

Metabolic oxidation is the chemical process in which the body breaks down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to release energy for cellular functions.

Glycemic index

The glycemic index ranks carbohydrate-containing foods by how quickly they raise blood sugar, helping guide food choices around fasting windows.

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.

Nootrope

Natural or synthetic substance designed to improve cognitive functions such as memory, concentration or creativity, without significant harmful effects.

Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet is a dietary pattern inspired by the traditional customs of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea (Greece, Italy, Spain).

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are the organs of the cell present in almost all cells in the human body, known as the “energy plants” of the cell.

Glycaemia

Blood sugar represents the concentration of glucose (sugar) in a person's blood and is a key indicator of metabolic health.

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.

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.

Electrolytes

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

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.

Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition caused by blockage of pores with sebum, bacteria, and dead cells.

Intermittent fasting

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

Digestion

Digestion is the process by which the body mechanically and chemically breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used for energy.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are compounds that help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage linked to aging and disease.
