01What is the corpus luteum?

Normally, after ovulation, a hematoma is formed, which after a few days turns yellow and is therefore called corpus luteum. It is actually a “cell mass” formed by the remaining follicles and other cellular tissues after ovulation. It secretes the natural hormone progesterone. The corpus luteum is responsible for the endocrine function of the ovaries and is the main source of estrogen and progesterone after ovulation.

02What causes luteal insufficiency

After ovulation, the luteum is underdeveloped, does not produce enough progesterone, or degenerates prematurely, resulting in a decreased secretory response from the endometrium. The incidence of luteal insufficiency in women of childbearing age is about 3-10%. Insufficient or incomplete corpus luteum function is detrimental to embryo implantation, and even if the embryo does implant, biochemistry may occur.

Sweets are loved by everyone, and the satisfaction it brings is not only on the tongue, but also activates a good mood, so sweets are also known as “sugar-coated bombs”. For gastric patients, not only hot pot, pickled these stimulating food can not eat more, sweets should not eat more.

01Why you should eat less sweets if you have stomach problems

It has been experimentally confirmed that 60% of the experimental rats with gastrointestinal diseases that were fed a large amount of sweets for up to 6 months had worsened gastroenteritis, increased the concentration of bile-loving bacteria in the intestines, and even evolved into ulcerative colitis. This also proves that excessive intake of sweets will make the gastrointestinal inflammation increase and worsen the condition. Therefore, the reason why you should not consume sweets when you are suffering from gastric problems is that sweets have the effect of inducing inflammation, and consuming too much of them will aggravate the disease.

Not only that, eating too much sweets will inhibit the production of stomach acid, which can cause some obstacles to the treatment of patients with indigestion, bloating and other symptoms.

Today we are targeting sweets that contain a lot of fructose, and fructose is divided into two kinds: one is a single-cell fructose; the other is a multi-cell fructose, such as candy, milk tea, chocolate we usually love to eat usually have sucrose, glucose and so on.

1. Pickled sweets

Many people think that pickled foods are pickled with salt, in fact, there are some foods in the production of the pickling process added a lot of sugar, so that the food tastes salty and sweet and delicious. This type of food contains a lot of salt, sugar and fat, if you take too much, in addition to cause obesity, but also may lead to indigestion, gastritis, thus affecting gastrointestinal health, so this type of food should not be eaten.

2. Cake

For people with gastrointestinal disorders, some cakes can’t be eaten as well, because many cakes have high trans fatty acid content. In addition to cause obesity, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, preventing normal digestion and absorption, and even increase the burden on blood vessels, promote blood sugar rise induced cardiovascular disease, so cakes should also try to eat less.

3. Candy

Candy is extremely high in sugar content, even just one candy may affect the blood sugar steady, and every 100g of candy in the trans fatty acid content can be up to 0.8 grams or more, people with gastrointestinal diseases must pay attention.

02How much is the right amount to eat in a day for people with stomach problems

Although many patients recognize that they should reduce their intake of sweets, there should be a standard maximum daily intake of sugar in order to control it. For different gastric patients, there is a difference in the control of sweets.

Normally, an average adult can consume up to 50g of sugar a day. According to the reference standard suggested by the School of Medicine of Central South University, most gastric patients should consume less than 25g of sugar per day, which can be adjusted according to their daily diets.

Gastric patients are also accompanied by obesity and hyperglycemia and other complications, it is necessary to further limit the amount of sugar intake per day also need to be further reduced, can be controlled at about 15g. Of course, excessive intake of sugar is not conducive to health, just in the case of gastric disease, more attention should be paid to eat as little as possible.

In order to get well soon, a reasonable dietary arrangement is very important, in addition to sugar to limit, some heavy oil and salt will stimulate the stomach of other foods should also reduce the intake, to avoid worsening of the condition.

Sports drinks are the drinks that many people choose to hydrate themselves with during their training routine. Most of them are brightly colored, high value, but also love in the gym selfie handsome men and women indispensable photo props. So what is the role of sports drinks, whether it has an effect on the human body, I believe that many people do not understand very clearly. Especially in the end will not get fat problem, is the answer that many people want in their hearts. Want to understand these questions clearly, we have to answer from the composition of sports drinks, role, drinking time and other aspects.

01Are Sports Drinks Good for Workouts

Most of the ingredients in sports drinks are composed of water, glucose, fructose, sodium and calcium. We greatly consume hepatic glucose stored in the liver and muscles themselves during normal physical exercise. When this part of the element is insufficient, it will blood sugar will be lowered, the performance of exercise will be decreased, and the body will begin to fatigue. At this time, drinking sports drinks, you can through its carbon hydrate in it in time to replenish the liver sugar consumed in the exercise, to a certain extent, it is able to replenish people’s physical strength, which is also the reason why it can be popular in the market.

In addition, as the human body in intense sports exercise, sweating will be greatly elevated, which will cause the body’s lack of water and electrolyte disorders. Sodium and potassium in sports drinks can replenish electrolytes to the human body in time, therefore, sports drinks can not only replenish water to the human body in time, but also improve the electrolyte disorder phenomenon in time. Therefore, intense exercise to replenish water, sports drinks are effective.

02Drinking sports drinks during non-exercise periods can be fattening

From the previously mentioned list of ingredients of sports drinks, we can find that sports drinks contain a large amount of sugar. In ordinary life, our body electrolytes are in a normal state, if this time, still drink sports drinks, it is equivalent to replenish a large amount of sugar, and the normal state of the human body can not consume excess sugar, it becomes a factor in the hoarding of fat. We all in the non-exercise state, do not recommend drinking sports drinks, it will cause human obesity.

Can I drink sports drinks when I am in a state of exercise? It varies from person to person. For example, many friends fitness is for fat loss and slimming, in addition to burning fat in sports, but also need to create a caloric deficit, that is, consumption is greater than intake. If fat loss friends drink sports drinks and constantly replenish sugar, they will greatly reduce the consumption of fat. Sports drinks for fat loss and slimming friends, it is not suitable as a drink to replenish water in the workout.

Among other things, when the intensity of exercise is not so high, usually the body’s electrolytes do not become disturbed, and this stage is not suitable for sports drinks. This is because there is no need for it, the body’s own consumption has not reached a high level, the body itself is fully capable of using it, and there is absolutely no need to replenish electrolytes. Therefore, unless it is a fierce high-intensity exercise, sweating a lot, only need sports drinks, otherwise, it does not come in handy much. Don’t be overly enamored with sports drinks; in the end, underneath its glamorous exterior, it’s just a sugary drink.

Also, be careful how you drink sports drinks. Although it contains electrolytes, but the content is small, and can not fully maintain the balance of the body’s electrolytes, its main body is still mainly water. After intense exercise, with a large amount of evaporation of sweat, a short period of time to replenish a large amount of water is very easy to cause water intoxication. Therefore, when you drink sports drinks, you should take a slow, small amount, many times to replenish water. After intense exercise, it is very important to choose the right way to drink.

To summarize: sports drinks are able to replenish a certain amount of electrolytes and a small amount of carbohydrates after an intense workout, and they have a certain value. But often many friends drink sports drinks as soon as they exercise, without considering the intensity of their own exercise, it is not worth it, because when replenishing water, it will also replenish a lot of sugar.
