For your body cells to sustain its normal external and internal functions as well as acquiring the required energy to feed, you simply need food. The energy present in a food can be measured in terms of “calories”.
The amount of energy that your body can get from a plate of food you eat is determined by the calories that are contained in the food. Your body also needs to dispense a certain required level of energy in order to digest the foods you take in so as to get energy from them. In a simple term, ‘The harder the food is to digest, the more energy is required by your body to digest it.
Here, we’ll point out four things that basically have to do with food.
(1) The process in which fat gets stored in your body
(2) Macro-nutrients and their different calories present in food
(3) The reason for the “fat/flab” on your belly, hips, chest and upper body
(4) Four ways you can burn down fat
The process in which fat gets stored in your body –Your body gets energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals or fats and this happens when you consume food. Your body gets these fuels through the process of digestion and assimilation. Your body then uses up a part of the fuel to fulfill its normal sustenance, functional and requirements and the excess fuel is stored up eventually in the form of “Fat” in the “fat cells” of your body, some amount of fat is also stored around the kidneys and in the liver (Another reason for belly fat).
Macro-nutrients and their different calories present in food – There are three macro-nutrients that can be present in a food – Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat. Fact, 1g of protein contains 4 calories, 1g of carbohydrate contains 4 calories and 1g of fat contains 9 calories.
So basically fats can provide more (double) calories to the body compared to the other two nutrient units. But please before you assume that eating fat is bad, it is NOT. Infact, eating some kind of fat would help you burn off belly fat and lose weight because they are essential and healthy for the harmonious functioning of the body.
The reason for the “fat/flab” on your belly, hips, chest and upper body –Under normal conditions, the human body has “limited” fat cells and there is a limit to how much fat can be stored up in these cells. Once these cells have reached their limit, the fats start getting stored up in your muscle linings (Fat around the thigh, hips, arms etc).
Fat cells are usually present in the regions of your chest, waist and hips. As more fats get stored in those cells, they grow in size and the larger they grow in size it becomes visible around the chest, waist and hip regions in men and women. Once the fat cells reach the limit of their expansion, the fats start getting stored in the muscle linings of arms and thighs creating flabbiness in these limbs also.
Four ways foods can help burn fat in the body – Now that you have understood the process of how fat gets stored, you may now ask “So how can food help in burning fat when it’s a source of calories and fat storage?” Just continue reading, your answers are below...
(1) Some foods contain certain vitamins or minerals that help improve the metabolism of your body. Metabolism in lay man’s terms is the rate at which your body uses up energy stored. So a fast metabolism = Fat loss and a slow metabolism = Fat storage. Certain foods improve the fat burning capacity of the body and so are called fat burning foods.
(2) Some foods contain fewer calories but require more energy to digest them. So by eating such foods, your body uses up stored fat in your body just to break and digest them, so such foods are again called fat burning foods.
(3) There are some foods that satisfy you more quickly than others and keep you full for a longer period of time than other foods even when you eat them in small quantities. When you eat them you’ll find that you don’t get hungry quickly and do not crave for more food. This helps in controlling the amount of food you eat and hence less fat on your body.
(4) Certain methods of preparing the calorie profile of the food further helps in reducing fat creation. For instance, boiled, steamed or baked foods goes a long way in reducing the calories contained in the food than 'deep-frying' the food, which 99% of us are fond of.
