时差N小时 脂肪是如何储存的?(下)（在线收听）

For the most part fat is stored in the fat cells that compose fatty tissue.

大部分脂肪储存在组成脂肪组织的脂肪细胞内。

Think of a fat cell as a tiny plastic bag filled with a drop of fat.

脂肪细胞好比一个容纳脂肪滴的小型塑料袋。

Interestingly, fat cells do not multiply.

有趣的是，脂肪细胞并不会繁殖。

The body contains a finite number of fat cells that expand as they absorb fat.

人体内的脂肪细胞数量有限，它们在吸收脂肪时会膨胀。

So how can you make those fat cells smaller?

那么，如何让这些脂肪细胞变小?

Eat well and exercise.

健康饮食和运动。

When you work out, your body burns energy, primarily in the form of glucose.

当你锻炼时，身体会消耗葡萄糖用来燃烧能量。

After breaking down stores of carbohydrates to produce glucose, the body goes after fat, which it breaks down into fatty acids that can also be used to make glucose.

当储备的碳水化合物转化成的葡萄糖被完全消耗后，身体就开始分解脂肪，由此产生脂肪酸，而脂肪酸也会产生葡萄糖。
