What are fatigue poisons?

Is there a way to stop them from being produced in the body? If so how

First, you must understand metabolism. This is the process in the body (any animal body) that turns stored energy into mechanical movement. Metabolism starts when foods are broken down and converted into glucose or similar sugars. The so-called Krebs Cycle in each and every cell of your body converts glucose into a powerful molecule called ATP. Think of ATP as a teensy, one-shot battery.

Every time you move a muscle, ATP created in the cells of that muscle go 'ker-pow' -- and provide the energy for that muscle to move. In the process, ATP degrades into ADP, which must go back and get re-energized in the Krebs Cycle. But something else happens in the muscle. Various proteins and enzymes that move the ATP and ADP around, shed little molecules in the process. And the Krebs Cycle itself, sheds little molecules.

These little molecules, "fatigue poisons", must be swept out of the cell, picked up in the blood and filtered out (or recycled) by the kidneys and liver. One of these molecules is called Lactic Acid.

You are quite capable of moving your muscles so hard and fast, that you produce fatigue poisons faster than they can be swept out of the muscle cells. They begin to accumulate in the muscles. They interfere with the proteins that move the ATP and ADP around, until finally, your muscle cells just cannot get enough ATP to move.

Then you fall down.

No, there is no way to stop them from being produced. They are produced by the central energy process in every cell of your body.

Is it possible to accelerate the metabolic functions so that it creates the perfect human body?


Is it possible to accelerate the burning of fat through increasing the metabolism?

That's right I'm questioning Stacker II here

Mother Nature has had more than 3 billion years of trial-and-error experiments to come up with the best way to build a cell, the best way to store energy, the best way to make bones and muscles, the best way to send signals to the brain, and the best way to make a brain. I don't think we're gonna improve on that in a few years.

If Stacker II could actually speed up metabolism, it would have to speed up or find shortcuts for every one of the thousands of molecular steps in metabolism. Every change would have side affects, and they would probably be bad, not good.

Example: you got a pool table, cue ball, and a "set-up" for a trick shot involving 8 other pool balls. Hit the cue ball at the right speed, and all 8 pool balls go in the pockets. Let's say it takes 4.0 seconds for all the balls to drop.

Now, can you do the same shot in 2.0 seconds? No. Hitting the cue ball twice as hard is NOT going to make all the other balls merely go twice as fast to their pockets. It will also change the angles they travel, the amount of spin they carry, and their timing when they cross each other's paths. The shot will get totally screwed up. Balls that weren't supposed to touch, now glance off each other. Balls now have too much or too little spin to make the right bounces off the cushions. You'll be lucky if any of them drop.

Extremely good analogy.

Then would it be possible to find the exact four.zero seconds so to speak of a person's metabolistic chemistry and alter the entire flow to speed up? Would you have to go beyond the metabolic system to something that controls it?

I heard that hot foods speed up the metabolism, how does this happen and is there any way to control that process and possibly even initiate it in a human being at a faster rate than normal to actually cause the entire metabolism to speed up?

You would have to invent an entirely new chemistry of Life. The only way to "go beyond" the metabolic system would be to invent an entirely new one.

Good luck with that.
