What is the difference between food and nutrition?It's a huge difference actually.What is food?Food can fill your stomach.What is nutrition?Nutrition is what the cell can take.She cannot take everything, not everything will be digested, not everything will be absorbed, there will not be enough transport for everything, not everything will reach where it needs to go.Now we will look at this with you.At least when you fill your plate, you will now think: “God, did I add protein?What standard do I need?We will all count this today.
I highly recommend taking supporting notes.This is very important.A supporting summary is one page on a topic.You will have a total of 12 pages, you will be able to open your reference notes at any time, not listen to my hour-long lecture again, but just see what I told you there many years ago and remind yourself.
So, write the first thing in your supporting notes: PROTEIN is our enzymes.Some of you will talk about these topics to your family, some of you will write articles on these topics.It is very important to convey to the consciousness - to me to your consciousness, and you may be to someone else - that all our biochemical processes are accelerated by enzymes.Imagine, when we were studying at school, we took one flask with some kind of cloudy liquid, added something and heated it over a gas burner.Remember when we did this in chemistry?And under the influence of temperature, a biochemical reaction occurred.Either carbon dioxide was released, or something precipitated.A chemical reaction was taking place.
In our body, tens of thousands of biochemical reactions take place in one millisecond.But nothing in the body can be heated, because any heating is the denaturation of the same proteins.Therefore, the body uses enzymes that speed up biochemical reactions.Therefore, proteins are enzymes.And when I say the word “enzymes,” you probably think “digestive enzymes.”Yes, we will talk about them today, but not only digestive enzymes.Enzymes live in every cell.Every cell must generate energy—what's called "ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy"—in order to make these enzymes.The cells of different organs are different; they make slightly different enzymes.
If protein is enzymes, then the most elementary biochemical reaction is when we take glucose, throw it into the Krebs cycle, we will say that glucose is like a log, and in mitochondria there is a Krebs cycle - these are fireplaces where you can burn food, for example glucose, with the formation of water and carbon dioxide.Look how simple this biochemical reaction is.Here it is the Krebs cycle, some unfortunate half-dozen aerobic and anaerobic reactions.But speed that we never dreamed of.Those.the body makes a simple reaction - it takes glucose, burns it to form carbon dioxide and water in more than 1/10 of a second.These half a dozen biochemical reactions happen very quickly.Therefore, the one who has 100% enzymatic activity in each cell is young.Therefore, what is old age?This is when enzymatic activity decreases.Who has decreased enzymatic activity?Everyone has.
