July 24, 2009, Newsletter Issue #177: Ketosis and health
Tip of the Week
Ketosis is a biochemical condition that occurs when the body produces ketones at a higher rate than it produces glucose.
Ketone bodies provide energy for the body's needs when there is a total food restriction, carbohydrate restriction, and/or long enough physical effort.
So, ketosis is a natural body's state. It switches the body from the biochemical mode when carbohydrates are used for fuel to the 'fat burning' mode when to produce the ketones, body's fat is being released.
The dangerous state is keto-acidosis, not ketosis, and it can happen in people with diabetes.
