"Do you rather want a body that is prone to obesity or diabetes?"
me, looking at my fat tissues and diabetic and chubby family members I inhereted my genes from: It seems my ancestors chose both
Seriously though
I’m Chinese and my metabolism is horrible. I went from weighing under 80
pounds when I was a child to being 160 as a 16 year old. So not all Asians have crazy fast metabolisms. I guess I could chalk it up to me being raised in the U.S. but still.
@@warriorKatsK I can totally relate. I live in Asia but still, my whole family, including many in our extended families are overweight/obese. I'm obese myself. In my case, it's the eating culture within my own family that promotes all this. I never noticed how warped our perception of food was(still is) until I reached my 20's. The way you were fed as a child really plays a big role imo. (other than that, it's also trauma for me.)

Hello!! I am a high school student in Japan!! I think Japanese is one of the very difficult languages ,too!
But don’t give up! You can do it!
Yes, I love Japanese and his voice 😍
Agreed :)
Maybe fate wants you to study japnese :P
He has the energy and personality of the kind kindergarten teacher who can teach very well.
I wish he was my teacher- all my teachers are strict
u kinda bad tho
i cant speak japanese :( but i understand some of the vid from anime experience only lol
Right
Ikr
This explains so much. When I lived in Japan (8 yrs) I could never understand:
1) How everyone stayed so skinny despite eating well over 2000 calories a day (I have to be careful with carbs in particular and stick to around 1500 calories)
2) Why so many of the Japanese teachers I worked with developed diabetes despite never being even chubby let alone fat
Do you mean refined sugars? Because it's the combination of saturated fat and refined sugars that is dangerous you know. Starch is actually something recommended as for reducing insulin resistance and obesity. Our body is meant to eat more starch, just too bad refined sugars are added to most packaged products these days...
@@freshairkaboom8171 Yes, I mean refined carbs such as white rice, white bread, sweets, etc.
@@LotusBornChild and before anyone gets excited about this diet, just know you’ll be shitting all day like a horse.
@@LotusBornChild why does it have to be plant based?
@@LUKA_911 cause not plant based keto involves eating things like butter and bacon constantly. Oh and the animal cruelty is also a big factor.
I am half Japanese and half Colombian. When I used to live in Japan until 11, I was "ガリガリでした". But once I moved to Canada and hit puberty, my body changed drastically and I was prone to gaining weight. I was no longer able to eat whatever I wanted and I quickly started to have issues with high cholesterol. I think my body was having a hard time switching over to the different diet (Japanese food vs the food I've been eating here in Canada). Interesting video. Thank you for explaining things in simple terms:)
How was it for you growing up in Japan being "half" Colombian?
@@potatokaiyote It was actually not bad! As for my mom who is Colombian, I think that she felt like an outcast most of the time. Japanese mom's tend to form cliques and they would just wave at her sometimes but she was never invited to any of the activities. So most of her friends were other foreigners.
I taught in Korea for a bit. One of my students moved to America and they were shocked how much weight they put on after moving.
@@MSom28 It's not just the dietary change, it's also the way a cultural rebound affects one's dietary choices. Would I be correct in guessing that you mother and father had some disputes about what to eat after moving away from Japan?
We were neighbors, I was from Venezuela, but I am 100% Asian😎 Now I reside in California. I was fat when I was a kid then started losing weight due to stress (learning a whole new language) I stayed skinny no matter what I eat until now with 3 kids I am still skinny but people who are envy about my body they do not know what is behind it. I do 30 minutes of intense exercise everyday and working all day😎
"Imagine a river of blood". That escalated quickly.

The plus side is that he said it all cute ❤
Cute and morbid is really it's own genre although I know he didn't mean to be morbid lol
Asians --> river of blood --> Gengis Khan thats how my mind works
Check Imperial Japan in China during WW2... There is more blood to see.
Me: * wants to lose weight and be healthy *
Me coming home from school: "I nEeD FOod"
drink water
Im asian n im growing up so i do that a lot
Please eat
Thats actually normal. Just make sure to watch out what you eat and drink water regularly
School is the way to loose weight 🤣
"I'll make it not scary at all!"
"Imagine a river of blood before your eyes..."
Fascinating analysis! I had no idea the lack of obesity could still remain the intensified struggle of diabetes, I think a lot of people simply figured the Japanese diet was superior! It just goes to show we need to do our best to eat balanced for our individual bodies and not be so hyper critical of the presence of fat or the lack of it
I was very surprised how many recipes I learned in Japanese cooking involves sugar! Lots and lots of sugar in sauces and bases 😯 I cut the amount in half or even a quarter and it still tastes fine - but yah- quite an eye opener for someone who used to assume Japanese diet was superior. This was very informative ! It definitely destroyed a lot of ignorance for me 👍🏻✨
@@Lithiel The other problem with Japanese diet is the white rice. Luckily it is much smaller quantities than Americans, but white rice is a very simple carbohydrate so basicly sugar.
I don’t know why this was recommended, but he seems so friendly and nice to listen to , he could be trying to promote old bikes and I probably wouldn’t mind.

@@wacksonjang4498 UR PFP AND NAME 😭
My mom's fam got the " all you can eat gene".
I inherited this aswell, having higher insulin release since early childhood.
My parents always thought I was faking feeling dizzy cause I didn't wanna go to school and it didn't even occur to them, that it's due to low blood sugar levels.
I got hashimotos since age 10, so I'm normal figured only thanks to my mom's asian-like genes, otherwise I would prolly be super overweight like everyone else having this condition.
Still feel kinda betrayed and uncomfortable but it is what it is.
Being super skinny has a lot of disadvantages too.
Hard to find fitting clothes, more prone to malnutrition cause it's tempting to eat all the unhealthy stuff if you don't gain weight.
My younger sister has Hashimotos (she got it in her 40's) but has been struggling with weight and exactly what to eat for years....we do not have the luck of having Asian genes. ☹️
@@charlottesmom if the condition is treated and you have a relatively reasonable lifestyle there are good chances to live with a normal weight.... 😅
@@kolli7150 , I haven't talked to her in a while but think she has started meds for the condition. I keep telling her to try low carb but she is a strict vegetarian (has been for 30+ years) and won't change her diet. 🤷🏻♀️
@@charlottesmom vegetarian diet is really good, we should be on a vegan diet actually but I'm allergic to a lot of foods.
The thyroid hormone is very similar to gluten, which the body attacks and fires up the immune reaction.
So she should avoid it.
@@charlottesmom get her to try 'healthy keto diet'. It has helped me. Search for it on UA-cam. there are some really good doctors who can explain it.
As a dyslexic person who finds it hard to learn, especially the scientific subjects, this guy has managed to make me understand something teachers have spent hours trying to teach me. This is just because he uses a more visual way of learning. Such an amazing teacher, honestly 👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly same as a dyslexic person as well I learn better with visual learning I feel it’s more engaging and makes following things so much easier than just a PowerPoint with loads of letters
In the Asian culture we’re constantly told not to be “fat” or we’re not attractive so I assume that plays a huge role.
😂😂😂😂wild🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
It’s odd in some African countries it’s the opposite…gaining weight in the right place is kinda our beauty standard but also it’s not a must to fit a European standard…
In latinoamerica we are told the same but we eat anyway 😆
I'm Asian and I've never heard that. Which "Asian culture" do you mean too? I'm pretty sure nearly any culture would not deem fat as attractive anyways. (Besides modern day U.S.)
@@aIkaIi It’s mainly targeted towards women and if you’ve never heard it then you’re either not paying attention or really lucky. No one is praising being “fat” or unhealthy, not even the US. It’s about not body shaming someone… but the fact that most Asian cultures think your attractiveness comes from you being skin and bones, is what I was referring to.

This honestly made me feel a bit better, so I had been living with my Japanese aunt for a few years and I ate the same things her and her family did, but I still weighed more than them (I'm german btw) I wasn't overweight but I was still not skinny, and it made me feel really awful about my body... but perhaps it was just a difference in our insulin levels.
I am a registered nurse and your description of how insulin helps cells to receive sugar for energy is spot on perfect. Well done. I just subscribed.
I’m studying Japanese at university and this video made me happy because I understood what you was saying (slower speaking) :) thanks
Oh I'm glad to hear that! Your japanese is getting better for sure

When a foreign guy from UA-cam explained biology to you easier, than teacher. Thank u very much!🙇🙇
I think because we are from the same generation , so everyone that is young can explain things more easily than the old ones , they went through the same struggles
Yeah I think my teacher can teach me a lot of things so as long as I let him/her, maybe we're just too preoccupied in the internet to the point where we expect answers and learn from the web on the get-go.

That was a great explanation! I did a lot of research when I was trying to help my mom get her blood sugar under control and your description of how insulin works is spot on. We tend to think that skinny people are healthy and fat people are not, but anyone can be unhealthy!
As an aspiring nurse taking human anatomy and physiology I loved your breakdown of everything!
the simple explanation for why asians are skinny - go to a mcdonalds in japan and order a large meal. now order the same meal in any western country but especially the US.... the chips and drink are about 4x as large
frys*
@@c_m00 In the UK the fries are called chips
@@abelpower because "fish and fries" is just simply not catchy enough
actually i live in japan and the fries sizes in mcdonald’s are the exact same as in america. the only thing that’s really bigger is the drinks.
@@babygorl9541 really? Here in the uk there are less fries than in the us, i thought we were the second worst after the us when it came to portion sizes...
Im Korean and I think that beauty standards play the biggest role and the pressure of society makes you want to fulfill those standards.
true
Just have to look at models how thin they are . If you are not slim you get bullied and ridiculed .
I think that's definitely a part of it. I'm VERY far from Korean physical ideals as a whole (Im Black lol, I am skinny tho) and when I studied abroad there I felt pressured even though nobody was really judging me because I wasn't expected to fit into those ideals as a foreigner. But it was almost like second hand pressure? Like I started paying more attention to skin care, I started wearing more makeup, coordinating my clothes more carefully and even years later still have most of the beauty routine I picked up there. And then my poor Korean American roommate? Forget about it, the pressure was about a million times worse for her, I had to help her while she was crying about it once or twice and she was even thinner than I am, if Im an American s/xs she's xxs for sure and imo absolutely gorgeous, but her family still found things to nit pick :(
@@soniagreenbank979 There is difference between healthy and overweight. Starving is not healthy, you will look less desirable for being just skin and bone. If you eat like pig, you will be less desirable. World is full of judgement, no matter how many you lie.. you judge others every day, who is to say one judgement is right and the other is wrong (that's another judgement). Be healthy, the West has a negative meaning of "skinny".. Most of the time, they belittle healthy people, for being "skinny". This is one of the reason Westerners are more fat, and have many health problems.
Yeah, i dont know but i belive more in that then the insuline explanation, but i liked

ive been studying japanese since this semester and it's really nice to find out i understand a lot more than i expected, i'll definitely be watching more videos for practice and fun
Finally someone addressing medical physiology, instead of CICO (calories in calories out) if ur finding that ur body is rlly stubborn in losing fat, it's coz uve become insulin resistent or u hav rlly high lvls of it. Insulin and glucose are a huge part to fat loss.
I love how slowly yet fast you speak, and how CLEARLY you speak. With a very friendly voice, too! Very well done.
It makes sense now that sweets from Japan are less "sweet" compared to other places🤯 thanks for this random but very interesting knowledge! 😂❤️
My friend gave me a whole SACK of korean and japanes sweets. I ate the whole thing because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. It tasted like lozeges and pills.
This is just untrue. Some Japanese sweets are les sugary but holy fuck, you need to watch out for more modern Japanese sweets. Like so many of them are suuuper sugary (I know because I started counting calories and tracking carbs, and under carbs you’ll see “of which sugars” and an amount). One example is melon bread, super sugary. Like 40g of sugar in a single piece 😳
So yeah it can really depend
@@tacocatt6808 don't look at Calpisu/Calpico lol
Grew up in Asia, studying in the US, my friends and I have this problem of eating American ice cream/sweets... we always say they are way too sweet and tastes like nothing but sugar... The lower level of sweetness kinda pop up other flavors. I remember once we had this matcha ice cream by some US supermarket brand, we were like there is definitely no soul in that matcha ice cream cuz it’s too sweet to show the tea flavor...
@@rosiey4710 Especially US chocolate - so much sugar, so little cocoa butter it can't legally be called chocolate in Europe and the UK. It just tastes like sugar.
I love his upbeat and approachable way of explaining things.❤️
本当に面白い！説明ありがとうございます
After 2 weeks I Japan I lost 6kg... all i did was eating and walking around.
I think I'll have to go back for a few months after quarantine... 😂
When I went I did pretty much the same thing, and although I didn't lose any weight I definitely toned my body! It's probably the fittest I've been in forever. Those two weeks were full of walking and delicious food, I would DEFINITELY love to go back! 😂
@senΔtouji i was there for 6 months and made it a point if I wanted to eat something, it had to be at least a 15 min walk away or I had to make it myself. This helped me lose over 35 lbs (15.8 kg) while I was there. And if I got more walking done I got more walking done during the day. It also made me look up restaurants and go and explore too!
After 2 years in Japan, I gained like 4kg. I ate too much Family Mart food 😭
That would be bad for me since im already underweight European rip.
I also felt like the food was healthier than here in Europe, so I didn't feel the need to constantly snack. Probably wouldn't be the case if I had stayed longer but at least for nearly 2 weeks I was able to feel like I was treating myself really well.

Diabetes is scary as hell. Its complications are hellish. I’d rather gain weight a bit than acquire diabetes. Also, i feel like gaining weight at least has a physical signal that you need to watch out your diet already unlike with diabetes. My mother is suffering from diabetes and it’s making me very sad and super worried about her.
@@bethejudge1950 her condition is very bad already. one of her legs got amputated already. several complications have started to emerge as well from her heart to her kidney due to lots of medication. wounds would randomly appear on her body as well. she's still surviving though. grateful for that.
My mother has Diabetes type 1 and she is doing well because she controls it well for all her whole life.
@@user-yf4it2dk8n She should consider eating more fat and less carbs. Insulin spikes the most because of carbohydrates. Fat and protein cause the blood sugar to be the most stable. It's impossible to heal insulin resistance and diabetes if you continue spiking up your blood sugar rapidly. The only thing that can reverse this is a proper diet and fasting.
There's a lot of information about this on UA-cam if you look around.
The scary thing about diabetes is that it's not noticeable. Once it's noticeable, the damage was already done.
@@Godnofreeids type 2 diabetes is only reversible before 3 years since the first onset. After that it's just controllable.
The method of reversion is rapid weight loss.
Problem is in many asian countries people (especially old people from previous generation) tend to shy away from health screening so it's kinda hard to catch diseases early.
The second problem is the method itself. From a recent medical trial in england patients that had success in reversing their type 2 diabetes all took an extreme diet plan (650-850 calories a day) under strict medical supervision for 2 to 5 months, then switching to more moderate diet plan, before lastly returning to normal caloric intake for their ideal weight.
Another method is increasing physic activity but this seems to work only 50% of the time and it doesn't results in reversion but just a medication free controlled type 2 diabetes. (which means if you stop working out, the control also stop).
Pevention is better. Screen yourself every 6 months (HbA1c test), reversing a prediabetes and metabolic syndrome is way easier and viable.
Well... that onomatopoeia explanation was *horrifying*

もうすごい重いからもし詰まっちゃったら身体に悪いのはよくわかりますよね
大家应该都知道要是因为血糖浓度太高堵住血管的话，对身体来说也是有害的吧
（注：实际上引起血管堵塞的是与高血糖有关的动脉硬化）
Q1- the high concentration of blood sugar is not the reason to block the blood vessels. it is the arteriosclerosis which is correlated with the hyperglycaemia
A1: Yes I agree that arteriosclerosis is the main reason blood gets stuck. Higher blood viscosity(sticky blood) plays a role in blood vessels getting narrowed( because vascular endothelial cells will be damaged by lots of sugar) and blocked.( I'm sorry that I omitted the middle part and that I didn't go into arteriosclerosis in detail in the video)

インスリン使いすぎると作れなくなっちゃうよっていうのを伝えたいので
因为想要传达「要是使用过多胰岛素的话就会无法再制作」这样子的观念
（注：事实上应该是细胞对于胰岛素敏感度下降，导致胰岛素利用效率降低）
Q2- although in type 2 diabetes finally decrease insulin secretion, it is due to the reduction of insulin sensitivity that cell could not efficiently use insulin
A2: I agree with what you're saying, that if you have a lot of fat tissue it produces hormones that block the insulin receptors and prevent cells from making use of the sugar. As this continues however the betacells of the pancreas produce more and more insulin eventually leading to the loss of pancreas function and in consequence insulin production stops entirely.
台湾の漢字（台湾華語）をつけてくれら嬉しいです。
It's difficult to break down these rather abstract and complex concepts! (I'm a biology major and I find it difficult to explain to my family certain physiological mechanisms... TT) thank you for trying to address these in the comments. Love & support from Taiwan :)
P.S. if possible would you pls pin this comment for more people to see :D thanks so much!!! Pls stay safe and healthy
ah, I was looking for this comment. you forgot to pin it :p
There is also the condition of insulin resist. Where your body is making enough insulin but your cells are rejecting it. Except your fat cells, they will except the excess sugar. That forms type 2 diabetes. So not every fat person is eating too much. Their body doesn't use the insulin properly. This will cause a person to become overweight. Please remember this when you are a doctor.
I forgot to pin this comment! Thank you for telling me!!
This was incredibly clear and helpful! Eye-opening too! Thank you! ✨
I learned so much from this! Thank you for putting it in such simple terms that are easy to understand!
Literally the *best* explanation of diabetes I’ve ever seen. You could put this to animation and have kids watch it. It was such a great way to explain it.

There's this thing called insulin resistance. Imagine that Asians produce 10 insulin on average that opens, say, 10 glucose doors per hour. Europeans/Americans produce 20 insulin on average that opens 20 glucose doors per hour.
Since insulin is produced as a response to glucose in the blood, when the Asian and the European eat the same amount of food over what they usually do, say 500 grams more rice than usual, their bodies also produce more insulin than usual. This response is linear for every unit of glucose entering our blood stream, so we can say 500 gr more carbohydrate is going to increase insulin production by 10 for both the Asian and the European. Makes sense, right? Now this is where it gets stupid.
Since Asians only have 10 doors opening in an hour, when their insulin gets increased by 10, it spikes to 20 which is double the number. The doors are now opening twice as often. The body tries to regulate this because you can't pump in glucose at twice the tolerable rate for the rest of your life. So your cells, in response to this, replaces the doors with doors that are half as wide, to make sure that the number of glucose going in is the same despite the doors opening twice as fast.
Problem is, the Asian doesn't usually eat that extra 500 gr of rice. So the next day, when they find their insulin back to 10 and the doors opening at the usual speed, they find that they can't take in the same amount of glucose, because the doors stays half as wide. This is basically type 2 diabetes, the insulin resistance.
Europeans and Americans don't have this problem because they start out with 20 doors open per hour, so when the insulin spikes, it only goes up to 30 doors per hour, which is only 1.5 times as fast. Or at the very least, their cells don't reduce the width of the doors as easily and it takes more time for the doors to get as small as the Asians. The ratio of glucose and door opening speed and door size is just an analogy, but this is how type 2 diabetes work in a nutshell.
What about intracellular fat insulin resistance? Asians eating things like western fast food, high in fat, can affect the diabetes rates as well. I've seen studies and trials proving this issue can be reversed on a low fat whole food diet, but what about the issue you'd been talking about? Is it reversible through diet?
Also, apparently if you just eat sugar, you can't put on weight. However, if you eat sugar and fat, that sugar can be converted into fat. A weird thing but it's how it works. Items that contain a lot of both are usually creams, dairy-based desserts. Asians historically consumed almost no dairy, so this might explain less obesity as well.
@@Noelciaaa I'm pretty sure that sugar itself will cause you to gain weight.
In fact, healthy fats are responsible for you feeling full, so if you eat sugar without fat you'd gain more weight because you end up consuming more calories trying to make yourself feel full.
@@taki1255 No, this is a fact confirmed by studies that consuming only sugar causes it to turn into glycogen. Not that eating so much of it is healthy either way, it weighs down on the liver having to conduct this process. But what makes you feel full most effectively is fiber. Fat might, but it's less feeling actually full and more fatigued due to too much fat causing red blood cells to become sticky and carry less oxygen (this is the true cause of the so called "food coma", asides from eating way way too much, to the point of insides hurting).
I mean, whole-food fat is good, but even this can be overdone. Most long-living and healthiest populations had been historically eating from 80% to even 90% carbs, mostly complex ones, many many greens, only the rest is distributed between fat and protein. Of course, if you're a bodybuilder, this is not ideal, but for the avg person just aiming for basic fitness for health, it's ideal. Also if someone eats nuts to get that whole-food fat, wrapped in fiber that prevents it from absorbing too quickly and causing the blood to be sticky, most nuts require a few hours or so of soaking up water. This deactivates an "anti-sprouting" plant hormone that is making it difficult to digest (the feeling of heaviness after eating a lot of nuts). Water means the nut can start growing, so it becomes easy to digest after.
Lol sorry for sort of going off but tbh, I'm procrastinating on work, haah.
I pressed the “Read more” and said “nope”.
@@mr.fatcamels5809 yeah don't waste your time. This guy has a crazy fringe theory he is trying to push without showing the actual evidence. He says "studies have shown" but I have never heard or seen these studies.
A lot of vegetables, green tea, and seafood too. Good, high-quality foods.
Don’t get me wrong I love Japanese food, and they do eat lot of vegetables and seafood, but for me rice packs good deal of glucose, and they mainly eat rice, with basically any meal.
The another thing they don’t refer to much is the sugar they add to most of the recipes or the frying stuff the eat.
@@merquenenjapon7979 japan is not that bad... in Brasil a lot of us who dont have much money eat a lot of low quality food, usually we eat Rice and beans, spaghetti... and the meat too, whatever that was cheap dont have such quality... the population too use a lot of salt and sugar, and the industrialized food is affecting that, and is the reason that we see a lot of poor people that was fat (beer Efects too), i think one of the reasons that we dont have the high level of obesity like USA is that even mc donalds have "high price" here, 24 Reais for a burguer, fries and soda = 4 dollars, and the minimum sallary here is 1000 Reais, like 177 Dollars
@@iagocavalcanti5277 yep! its the opposite in america! here, the poor people are fat haha. It takes more effort and money to eat healthy. Or you can buy a big cheap burger for a few dollars that gives you 2000 calories in one go. Do that 2 or 3 times a day and boom, quick, easy fatness. which makes you lazy, depressed, and more inclined to keep eating the cheap easy food.
Also, in Japan at least, people walk a lot. Take the train. Ride bicycles. IDK if its like that in brazil? I assume cars are more rare because of the price? In america everyone has a car. We will drive to the mailbox, while eating a burger...
@@humanbean3 we have much cars too, but the high price of new trash cars dont estimulated us... also the oil is like 6 reais per liter, although we have Most of the biggest reserves of oil... the public transport is trash, where i live we only have bus, bicycles are usufel, but, for a INCREDIBLE reason, the governament are making it difficult Apps like yellow bike and others here, for reasons of "security"..., anyway, i dont think our situation will be better for the next 30 Years
@@iagocavalcanti5277 It's a shame but at the same time I love Brazilians so I think ... i dont want some things to change.. but i definitely want better opportunities for a happy life there.
Thank you. Very informative!
This was so much fun to watch. Love his energy.
Hearing his voice in japananese language,I feel like he can be a good voice actor in animes. His voice is pleasing to hear❤
Hmmm yes J A P A N A N E S E
@@ThatOneMalaysianGuy ikr
Yes
This is the cutest way of explaining this. Wish he was my biology teacher 😂🤣🤗
You‘ll be such an awesome doctor!! 🤩👏👏👏
Loved this video ❤
wow ive been studying japanese for about 1.5 years since i moved to japan in my junior year of high school and the fact that I watched this with no subtitles and understood basically everything makes me so happy. I don't need to translate in my head I can just hear and understand やべ〜 My studying efforts are paying off haha
I love how he explained insulin in the most...cute way..? hahaha
My grandpa used to explain it to me bc he has diabetes but his explanation was not as cute as this on lol
I love this! Thank you for this topic 🤗
Thank you so much for this channel!!!!! I love Japanese onomatopoeia!! your explanation and pronunciation is so clear and easy to understand, which is exactly what I need right now!
Gari gari sounds more like the grumbling of an empty stomach to me.
Now im hungry.
lol
That's peko peko
@@moyonification2 when the doctor at the health check up says: konpeko
This actually helped me understand why my cousins grandma and my cousin whom both have diabetes, constantly take injections and it also helped me learn more about what diabetes is. I used to think diabetes was just an illness where there was too much sugar in your blood.
This was honestly so interesting, i learnt something new 😂
Is it not? I think it is. Sugar is what caused their insulin resistance
@@susanthompson7697 yes but no
Thank you for this great Video 😊👏 I've learned so much 🍀💚💚💚
Just finishing up my university anatomy and physiology class! I think you explained this really well in good everyday language!
Me seeing the title as a Plus size Southeast Asian :
*Guess I'm an exception*
same lol
I'm East Asian and a lot of the people around me are also E. Asian but I'm definitely part of exception in my ability to gain weight. Man still wonder why everyone around me is so skinny though. Hopefully this also means it's harder for me to get diabetes.
Ig this person is only talking about east Asia. Other asians don't have this body type as their natural type
@@devashrijoshi9079 I'm from South East Asia, my observation is if you living in the city, you'll be prone to seeing a thicker, chubby or fat type of a person while in the countryside, people is skinny but not the unhealthy type of skinny, some of them is on the leaner side. Well, that's just my observation in my country(Philippines).
Me, an Asian, eats 1 grain of rice...becomes Blob for the rest of the year.
Well said! Thanks for the explanation. 😁
Thank you for making interesting and informative content while teaching me Japanese. Hope your having a great day!
He can be a teacher, he will be the favorite of his students 😅 cute 💓
That was the cutest explanation of insulins role in the body I have ever heard! 🙊💕
簡単で説明してくれたありがとう。
I just want to say you have explain to me all the information so well, I love it please make more videos like this!
Close ur eyes and u can hear a friendly anime side character speaking
