(Newswire.net — November 3, 2018) — From time to time you may find your breath smelling a bit odd even after brushing your teeth as well, not cool but there’s probably a practical medical reason behind it. If you miss a meal or two regularly, you body could be going in and out of extreme states of ketosis.
“Your breath has an interesting ability to provide clues to your overall health,” says Healthline.com. “Bad breath, also called halitosis, can be so telling that doctors may even be able to use it to identify diabetes. Diabetes-related halitosis has two main causes: periodontal disease and high levels of ketones in the blood. One of the ketones, acetone (a chemical found in nail polish), can cause your breath to smell like nail polish.”
“You produce ketones when you don’t have enough of the hormone insulin in your body to turn sugar (or “glucose”) into energy,” explains WebMD.com. “You need another source, so your body uses fat instead. Your liver turns this fat into ketones, a type of acid, and sends them into your bloodstream. Your muscles and other tissues can then use them for fuel.”
So ketones are excellent, they are a key player of a brilliant backup system but they can create a foul odor and they are extremely unsafe for diabetics – the chemical compound not the scent that is. There are eating plans that trigger ketosis, the name of the process in which ketones are produced. Since fat is broken down to produce ketones, it’s been the basis of trending diets that preach a high protein meal plan.
“The carbohydrates you eat are converted to glucose, which is the body’s primary source of energy,” states Lindora Clinic. “Whenever your intake of carbohydrates is limited to a certain range, for a long enough period of time, you’ll reach a point where your body draws on its alternate energy system, fat stores, for fuel. This means your body burns fat and turns it into a source of fuel called ketones. When you burn a larger amount of fat than is immediately needed for energy, the excess ketones are discarded in the urine.”
