Burning fat is a more effective long-term fuel but is more complex to process and isn't as readily accessible for quick bursts of muscle activity as is a fuel like glucose.

Want to increase your athletic performance by consuming additional nutritional salts? Think again, as researchers say ketone salts may inhibit, rather than improve, athletic performance during high-intensity exercises like running 10 km or cycling up a hill.
Ketone salts are supplements that consist of beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) combined with mineral salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, or potassium, to improve absorption rate of the body.
