I attend fitness classes for half a year already. If
for some reason I will quit my workouts, will my muscles turn into the fat?
Muscles
cannot turn into fats and vice versa, because muscles consist of muscle cells,
and fats consist of fat cells, and normally cells of one tissue cannot
transform into cells of another tissue. When we stop exercising, muscles simply
shrink, because their cells can no longer contain so much water that is so
necessary to the organism (the more water a muscle cell contains, the faster
the metabolism is, the faster the toxins are removed from the body, which is
good) and the total mass of muscles decreases. Meanwhile fat cells, in
contrast, start increasing in size in the absence of physical load and in the
presence of unbalanced nutrition. A fat cell can increase in size many times.
When you actively exercise, fat cells silently rest on hips and waist shrinking
more and more, but at the same time as if waiting when you will relax and start
eating wrongly. And then they act like dried raisins put into water: they
amazingly quickly swell out and balloon, and so amount of fat increases.
Therefore for those who do not know these things very well it seems that
muscles turned into fat. Surely, it is a wrong assessment of the situation.
Actually, it is enough to resume exercising and eating right, and the fat cells
shrink again, however, they do not disappear.
