When does the body need amino acids for energy and what are the disadvantages of using amino acids for energy?
465446
amino acids are always needed for energy, long-term energy:\nanimo acids are the building blocks of protein, and when consumed and digested provide long-lasting energy, well, in relation to sugar and other carbs which only provide a quick burst of energy. Protein just generated an overall larger amount of energy upon consumption than anything else. \nit depends in what form u are using "amino acids"...\nif u are just eating lots of meat, beans, whatever protein that its OK, but if u are taking supplements u should consider not doing that b/c all the protein powders and such are not too good for yur liver and they make u gain too much weight, unless u r a hardcore weight lifter. \nso in short: dependng on how much and how quick of energy u r looking for would tell u whether u should eat protein or carbs. but protein supplement should ONLY be taken if u r working out (but preferably not at all).\nhope this helps.

the body takes all the proteins that you eat apart and turns them into amino acids, and then the amino acids infiltrate into the places where they're needed...!

Actually, rice and beans if eaten together will provide your body with the EIGHT essential amino acids it needs to function. The other 12 can be made in your body and don't need to be consumed from food.

The thyronines act on the body to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis and increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline). Hypothyroidism is an insufficient production of the thyroid hormone.  The thyroid hormones are essential to proper development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. These hormones also regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, affecting how human cells use energetic compounds. Numerous physiological and pathological stimuli influence thyroid hormone synthesis.  Because the body's metabolic rate is slowed the rate of absorption of energy-releasing compounds is decreased, and the susception to energy increasing hormones like adrenaline declines.  In order to compensate with this, one of the ways the body reacts is by requiring more sleep. Physical fatigue is a common symptom of the condition, so don't worry too much.  As long as you've seen your GP and are taking the prescribed medication, the body's balance should eventually correct itself.

L-arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid and is thought of as one of the bodybuilding amino acids because the body uses it to release growth hormone. Human growth hormone is used by the body to build muscle strength and tone and to enhance the burning of fats. L-arginine is important in the urea cycle for the metabolism of ammonia produced in the breakdown of protein. L-arginine also stimulates the production of nitric oxide which supports vasodilation.\n\nhttp://lookup.herballoveshop.com/search?q=l+arginine&site=my_collection&client=my_collection&proxystylesheet=my_collection&output=xml_no_dtd&filter=p&getfields=PID.price.ProductImage.Rating.description.mytitle.details

Body energy, necessary for breath, motion, heartbeat, thinking, and all that, comes from food. Chiefly from two components of food, in fact. Carbohydrates are made of carbon and hydrogen (sugars, starches, etc), and fats (oils) which are more complex shemically (butter, olive oil, etc).\n\nTo produce the energy cells need in the form they need it, to do their function, these are burned (in a clever and flameless way) indside the cell. The end products of complete oxidation are carbon dioxide and water. The oxygen necessary comes from air, through the lungs. \n\nThe more energy your muscles need (because of exercise) the more fuel is burned and the more carbon dioxide and water is produced. The carbon dioxide is exhaled (through the lungs) and the water is excreted by the kidneys. Both are carried by the blood from the muscles to the lungs or kidneys as needed. \n\nSo the more your exercise, the faster you breath and the more oxygen you take in and the more carbon dioxide you exhale. If you run for one hour, you'll produce a certain amount of carbon dioxide and if you run for 2 hours you'll produce just about twice as much. but, even if you're sleeping, you'll still produce carbon dioxide for many parts of your body still have to do some work even if you're not running around. Your heart still beats, your brain still works (dreams, maybe) and you still stay about the same temperature. All that takes energy, just not so much as you need when you're running. \n\nAnother source of carbon dioxide, a much bigger source than humans running around on a soccer field, or a baseball diamond, is burning fossil fuels. Gasoline, diesel fuel, coal, heating oil, ... all produce carbon dioxide and water (and heat) as exhaust products. All that carbon dioxide being put into the air is one of the causes, most people think the major cause, of the rise in average temperature on the Earth. This is the global warming that's been in the news.

1. an essential amino acid is an amino acid (such as tryptophan, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine) that cannot be synthesized so has to be supplied by your diet.\n\n2. moderation is part of a healthy eating plan because too much of anything is not healthy:  too much salt, raises your blood pressure, too much food makes you fat, etc.\n\n3. (a) count to 10 (b) take some deep breaths (c) take time to think before acting...causes you to calm down (d) walk away (e) close your eyes and listen to music\n\n4. peristalsis\n\n5. the final stage of loss is acceptance so it would be the ability to move on with fond memories instead of feelings of guilt and regret\n\n6. shaken baby syndrome (leading cause in the first MONTH is SIDS)\n\n7.  ecstacy\n\n8.  neurons\n\n9.  cirrhosis\n\n10. rickettsias - a small organism that looks like bacteria but acts like viruses

no - there is no evidence to support the idea that amino acids can increase your testosterone\n\nhowever if the fat or zinc levels in your diet are too low increasing these will increase your testosterone but only to the point where you should normally be with a good diet.\n\nSome amino acids do however suppress another hormone called cortisol and if your ratio of testosterone to cortisol goes up due to this then muscle growth may be improved

Protein and carbohydrates.  Eat a medium meal, you want energy, but not a lot of sugar.

We get a number of nutrients from animals, but the primary one is protein.  The stomach breaks these down with a digestive enzyme called pepsin -- along with hydrochloric acid.  The resulting pieces are called amino acids.  These amino acids are absorbed into the blood at the small intestines, and carried in the blood to the body tissues.  The cells at these tissues contain the information necessary to reassemble these amino acids back into body proteins. This process is called protein synthesis.\nProteins can also be converted to energy by first reducing them into amino acids, then removing a specific part of the amino acid (called amine groups).  The resulting compound is now glucose.  The process is called deaminization.  The glucose can then be converted to energy in a process called cellular respiration.

Nitrogen is the key element which gives proteins their functionality. The body needs proteins to build and repair tissues. Animals get these proteins from plants who get it from the air. The nitrogen in the air also keeps us from bursting due to excessive respiration.

Protein is a healthy energy source. I don't know about the sugar it sound like to much. There is a energy drink at the site below that has no sugar and will give you tons of energy.

Your body gets energy by metabolising carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and fats (lipids).\nProteins are used for the growth and repair of body tissues.\nVitamins and minerals are essential for the chemical process that make our body work.\nFibre (roughage) - which is all the undigestible parts of our food, mostly cellulose - is needed to allow our gut to  efficiently move stuff through it.\nCreatine is a dietary supplement and is not necessary if you have a normal, healthy balanced diet.\nAthletes improve their stamina by training regularly.\nFor reliable medical/scientific advice on nutrition look here:

Our body an be deprived of energy for many reasons. Eating is only one and the most important. What you eat, when you eat and why you eat all have an effect on your energy level. First most important is good nutrition which is good for the body, mind and soal. \n\nEnergy a source for which we rely on day to day. The first source of energy is Breakfast. Probally the most important meal of the day. Do you need to eat a full-course meal to store up energy? No! Eating the right nutrition should carry you over to the next meal or snack.\n\nLet me explain the program I am on and have benusing now for 2yrs. Myself gaining weight has a been a problem for many years. I found out about this program, but wasn't looking to loose weight. To my surprise the same program with adjustments to my goals worked. The first thing I was introduced to was GOOD NUTRITION, a word that has so many meanings and abused so often.\n\nI take 3 multivitians, 3 shakes and one meal a day with snacks in between. ( good snacks protien bars, soy uts) As months went by I bagan to gain weight, but I also felt more energentic, alert and look so healthy. Then I learned of other products like Herbal Tea, High energy drinks, ect.\n\nSurprisenly, I learned that given the right nutrition the body repairs itself from years of abuse. The mind becomes more alive, focused and ones self-image and esteem are more positive.\n\nSo, if you want to be more energetic begin by feeding your body good nutrion. This program works for anyone who wants to work the program to good health. It name is Herballife with a long history of sucess. I would like to talk more with you and hope to hear from you.\n\nGood-luck\n\n888-825-7853

A nutrient is any element or compound necessary for or contributing to an organism's metabolism, growth, or other functioning. Six nutrient groups exist, classifiable as those that provide energy, and as those that otherwise support metabolic processes in the body: Some of them are essential because they cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained from a food source.
