Carbohydrates / Weight Gainer

Besides fat and proteins, carbohydrates are the main part of our nutrition. The carbohydratesplay an important role for the energy supply for the human body.
The human being constantly needs energy in order to keep up body temperature, to supply the cells with nutrients or to accomplish metabolism processes. The carbohydrates are mainly used for energy supply, because the absorbed energy is faster available than that of fat or proteins. If the human body gets to much energy in form of carbohydrates, which it does not need at all, surplus energy resources are transformed into fatty deposits. Therefore, carbohydrates are those substances which contribute to deposit of fatty tissue because of surplus consumption and not the nutrition "fat", first of all. Fat is an energy supplier that is available for a long time. However, it is not possible to fall back on it that fast as on carbohydrates.
It is recommended to control that the body is supplied with carbohydrates in a sufficient way before the sport in order to avoid an early exhaustion while intensive sports charges. Mixtures of carbohydrates and proteins (Weight-Gainer) are optimal for that. Furthermore, the Weight-Gainers offer persons with a faster metabolism the possibility to build body mass, because Weight-Gainers often have a very high energy density and the body is forced to build muscles and fatty tissue. Weight-Gainers are mostly in powder form and get mixed with milk. There are energy bars as well, which have a high energy density and a high protein content to support the muscle building at the same time.
After the workout, carbohydrates provide a refilling of the energy depot of the muscles (glykogen depot). If the energy depot gets regularly emptied and refilled, this depot can be increased. Moreover, the intake of carbohydrates produces an increase in insulin. This causes a more rapid access of other nutrients as proteins into the muscle cells.
