Question: When we eat food do fat just get absorbed or parts of it get used!?
For example lets say a meal had 200 carbohydrates and 100 calories from fat!. Does that mean the whole 100 calories get stored as fat!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There are three main food groups Fat, carbohydrate and Protein!. There are two separate groups of carbohydrates termed simple and complex, simple carbs or sugary carbs are found in foods such as pasta, white bread, potatoes etc, these are absorbed quickly into the body 20-60 mins and are useful just before exercise, complex carbs found in foods such as brown bread, wholemeal pasta, wholegrain cereals, these foods are absorbed less quickly into the body 1-3hrs, and consequently keep you fuller for longer!. Fat and protein also have a high satieting effect (keep fuller for longer) and are absorbed within about 30-120mins!.

Usually, 95 percent of the fat in food is digested and absorbed into adipose, or fatty, tissue!. Fats are the body's energy provider and energy reserve, which helps the body maintain a constant temperature!. Fats and lipids are also involved in the production and regulation of steroid hormones, which are hydrophobic (or "water-fearing") molecules made from cholesterol in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, a compartment within a cell in which lipids, hormones, and proteins are made!.

Steroid hormones are essential in regulating sexuality, reproduction, and development of the human sex organs, as well as in regulating the water balance in the body!.

This is why a balanced diet that includes healthy fats is of importance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It all depends on what you eat and with what you eat it!. Everyone is diffferent, so I would ask a Doctor!. : ) Some things are Genetic, follow up on your family history!. Most things will come from the Mothers side!. Not all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some part of it gets absorbed!.

The usage depends on the demands of the body!.

If we exercise and do activities such that all the calories produced are utilised, nothing gets stored as fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
