Your pain, your gain. It’s time to reap the rewards from your workouts.

Carbohydrates are the most important energy suppliers for the body, along with fats. Energy is especially important for the muscles and the brain. They belong to the so-called macronutrients. They are found in starchy foods such as pasta or rice, bread, but also in fruit or sugary drinks. Carbohydrate-rich foods are especially important for athletes, as they are our most important source of energy.

Digestion and processing
Carbohydrates are broken down into small sugar molecules in the body. The larger carbohydrate chains are split by enzymes and broken down into smaller chains until the smallest building blocks (monosaccharides) remain. These building blocks enter the blood via the intestinal wall. Blood sugar levels rise and send signals to the brain. The hormone insulin is released. Insulin can transport nutrients into the cells. Sugars, amino acids and fats can serve as nutrients for the cells and promote anabolism (build-up).

If carbohydrates are in the cell, the citrate cycle takes place – a metabolic process in which glucose produces energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as well as carbon dioxide and water. ATP is needed for every muscle movement. If too much sugar is ingested, the energy store (glycogen store) is filled with it. Depending on the need, this glycogen is converted back into glucose and supplies the body with energy (gluconeogenesis). This is especially important during intensive training sessions. Because if the body has too few carbohydrates in the blood, it can draw on these glycogen reserves at any time.

If the floodgates of the cell are opened by insulin, fat burning is blocked. Because the body builds up in this situation – not breaks down. Therefore, the hormone insulin is also called fattening hormone and is interesting for anyone who wants to build muscle or constantly supply their body with energy, such as endurance athletes and athletes.
