Insulin - Builder Of Muscle Mass
Hello dear friends!
Insulin is a type of hormone that is secreted by cells in the pancreas. There are two types of these cells - alpha cells and beta cells. Beta cells are responsible for the secretion of insulin. High levels of glucose in the blood forcing the beta pancreatic cells to increase the release of insulin in the blood. Insulin circulates through the body and in a short time makes the muscle cells and liver to process glucose from the blood.

Surely you already know that hormones have a big impact on your body. The composition of your body largely depends on the materials that are messengers ie. Hormones. If you want to develop targeted muscles then it is good to assemble an alliance with an important hormone - insulin.
The hormones not only affect your psyche but also affect your body. But you're not just so helplessly exposed to the vagaries of the hormone. These their behavior can exert direct influence on the amount and type of hormone that is secreted in your body. If your goal is to develop muscle or fat removal, in these cases, insulin has a great role and importance.
Insulin is one of the most powerful anabolic hormones in your body. Anabolic means one who builds. Him can also be characterized as hormone for storage. Your body secretes insulin, primarily, for the transportation of sugar in your muscles.
However, insulin is not transmitted only sugar in your muscles, but also with amino acids that build muscle.

How do insulin increases muscle mass?
During the training you emptying warehouses of sugar in the muscles. By extending the duration of the workout, your body is more and more enters the so called catabolic phase, ie. Stage of decomposition. Begins the secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol that, in order to mobilize the last reserves of energy of the body. In doing so, the muscles can not grow.
In such a situation nutrients, sugar or proteins break down of muscles and damage them to meet the energy needs of the body. This is not the most suitable environment for building muscle. In addition to those of catabolic stress hormones, there is a strong opponent, and that's insulin. He pulls out a body from decomposing phase and supplies exhausted muscles fresh nutrients. All you have to do to get the process started is to start eating.
To start this process would be best to drink after a workout shake with whey protein and dextrose. Sugar (dextrose) runs insertion of insulin in the blood, and then he transferred the sugar directly into muscles. Likewise, the proteins are present from a shake, also using insulin pumped into the muscles. In this way the muscles regenerate immediately after heavy training and beginning to grow.
In addition to the morning after waking up where the situation is the same as after the training, in all other times during the day it is advisable to maintain a low level of insulin in the blood. So, in all other times during the day except in the morning after waking up and after training you need to enter the body slow carbohydrates from grains and vegetables. In this way ensures that your body at all times responds well and properly secreted insulin when its needed.
