JPH11276131A - Sports drink from 2 hours before exercise to after exercise - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] The metabolic characteristics of fructose are inhibited by the secretion of insulin from the pancreas during the burning of body fat, while fructose requires the secretion of insulin. Not so that the burning of body fat is not hindered. The use of fructose also contributes greatly to athletes and sports people to prevent obesity, because of the sustained satiety due to physiological functions and stable blood sugar levels. [Solution] Fructose is mainly metabolized in the liver. Although it absorbs slowly, once it is taken into the liver, it is used as an energy source much faster than glucose.
This is because in the liver, the activity of fructokinase, a fructose kinase, is higher than that of glucokinase and hexokinase, glucose kinases. This metabolism is not related to insulin. Using the above metabolic function of fructose, it is used as an energy source from 2 hours before exercise to after exercise.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Quickly and efficiently during exercise
A sports drink that uses fructose, which is easy to drink, absorbs water smoothly, and promotes the burning of body fat, as an energy source for athletes seeking more perfect energy supplementation.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Fructose is a natural sweetener that is often contained in honey and fruits. Especially in Europe and the United States, it has long been popular as a healthy sweetener that can be consumed even by patients with diabetes. In Japan, demand for various soft drinks is already increasing year by year. However, it was not added with the metabolic characteristics of fructose in mind, it was simply included in isomerized sugar. Sports drinks that make full use of the taste and physiological functions of fructose for athletes
Not sold. Foreign players take bananas and grapefruits before and after practice and games.
They consume the fructose found in fruits.

[0003]

The sweetness of fructose is 1.2 to 1.8 times that of sugar, and the quality of the sweetness is fast and sharp, so it is refreshing and refreshing. Because it has a higher sweetness than sugar (the sweetness increases at low temperatures), it can be added in a small amount, and you can expect a certain reduction in calories without compromising the taste. Because calories are the same as glucose, excess intake is stored as body fat and leads to obesity. Fructose absorbs somewhat slower in the intestinal tract than sugar or glucose, but the fructose absorbed is metabolized quickly and produces more energy. At this time,
Serum insulin levels are almost unaffected by slight increases in blood sugar. When serum insulin is increased by sugar supplementation (sugar or glucose) of commercially available sports drinks, the supplemented sugar is rapidly metabolized to cause hypoglycemia or to suppress energy production from lipids.
Fructose, which does not strongly stimulate insulin secretion, suppresses glycogen consumption and sustains exercise during or before and after exercise. The metabolic feature of fructose is that sugar and glucose are inhibited by the secretion of insulin from the pancreas during the burning of body fat,
It does not require the secretion of insulin, so the burning of body fat is not inhibited.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problems] Fructose is mainly metabolized in the liver. Although it absorbs slowly, once it is taken into the liver, it is used as an energy source much faster than glucose. This is because in the liver, the activity of fructokinase, a fructose kinase, is higher than that of glucokinase and hexokinase, glucose kinases. This metabolism is not related to insulin. Using the above metabolic function of fructose, it is used as an energy source from 2 hours before exercise to after exercise.

[0005] Fructose is compared with glucose or sugar by DIT.
(Diet-induced body heat production) is high and quickly becomes an energy source. It is synthesized into glycogen via glucose when fructose accumulates in the body, requiring 3.5-4.5 moles of ATP per mole of fructose. One mole of glucose requires more energy to accumulate as glycogen than fructose, compared to 2.5 moles of ATP. When the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, the amount of energy consumed is also DIT
Although part of fructose, it consumes more energy than glucose.

[0006] Fructose promotes rapid elimination from the stomach, is more quickly rehydrated than sugar and glucose, and is a source of energy. In sports where body fat also requires endurance, it is burned and used as valuable energy. This fat burning is inhibited by the secretion of insulin and stopped when you take in sugar or glucose during or after exercise. Fructose, on the other hand, can continue to burn body fat after ingestion, while providing water and energy. In sports that aim to win or to lose weight, insulin is the key.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Sugar, also called sucrose, is a substance made by combining fructose with glucose.
Recently, liquid sugar, which is a mixture of glucose and fructose, is used in place of sugar, and is called isomerized sugar, which is used for soft drinks. To make sugar, add water to starch and heat it. If α-amylase is added to this solution, starch will be broken down into fragments, which can be made by adding glucoamylase. This glucose solution is converted to fructose by adding glucose isomerase. The higher the fructose concentration, the stronger the sweetness,
It removes glucose from the purified product of this enzymatic reaction and increases the concentration of fructose. The price rises accordingly, but it becomes a higher grade product.

[0008]

[Example] Based on this fructose, vitamin that athletes become scarce (B 1 _· B 2 _· niacin · C · E)
To make sports drinks, or to mix sports minerals in small amounts in small amounts to make sports drinks. The main objective is to make use of the physiological characteristics of fructose.

[0009]

[Effect of the Invention] As an energy source utilizing the physiological function of fructose, it is effective for full-scale athletes and those who play sports to prevent obesity. Fructose has a strong sweetness, requires a small amount of addition, and can limit calories. In addition, insulin has little effect on increasing glucose uptake during exercise, so it has a feature that glucose can be preferentially consumed only by skeletal muscle. Since the action of insulin is systemic, it also acts on adipose tissue and works in the direction of accumulating fat. If you get insulin while you are actually exercising, your skeletal muscle gains will decrease and your ability to exercise, such as endurance, will decrease.
Insulin secretion is greatly involved in the energy supply of athletes.
