Frying Up Facts About BHB Salts

Welcome to Nutritional Sciences 403… I am your professor, GiGi Eats.

Me, a professor? Ha! I know you’re most likely expecting an obnoxious pun or an inappropriate joke to kick off this blog post but… This time around, that’s not happening. Although, wait a second… If I were actually a professor, I would totally be one of those dorky ones.

You see, it seems like a majority of students are attending school and trying to further their education via their computers, tablets, and smartphones (or whatever the heck people use) these days thanks to in-person schooling being closed indefinitely.

So while I, myself, may not have to deal with ZOOM calls or SKYPE classes… I thought I would join the bandwagon and “drop” a rather educational Nutritional Sciences YouTube video.

Now, this video ain’t your average 101 class where you can half-listen while simultaneously scrolling through your Instagram feed and still understand what’s going on. Nope… I am going to need your FULL attention because I am discussing a topic not popularly known. But DON’T WORRY… I am not an a-hole “professor”… I do TRY my best to explain the topic at hand as easy as it is for… BHB salts to be absorbed into your bloodstream.

Speaking of BHB salts.

That just so happens to be the TOPIC for today’s video. Would you look at that? My segue into what this video is about wasn’t forced at all…

Answers:

1. Beta-Hydroxybutyrate
2. When eating an ultra-low carbohydrate diet (a keto diet), the body switches from burning glucose (from carbohydrates) to fat. As the liver breaks down fatty acids, it generates ketone bodies that serve as fuel for the brain, heart, and muscles in times when carbohydrates are in short supply.
