On 11th January 2021, My Vital Metrics was featured on Channel4’s programme Food Unwrapped. Together with Professor George Grimble from the Institute of Liver and digestive health at University College London, we conducted an experiment around the metabolism of alcohol in the body. The show used the advanced Spirometry devices at MVM which we usually use for the Resting Metabolic Rate Test and the VO2Max test, but in this instance they were being used to show how alcohol is prioritised in the metabolism of fuels within the body.<\/div>\n

The experiment asked the subject, in this case the presenter Jimmy Doherty to cycle at a low intensity for 10 minutes on a cycle, while attached to advanced spirometry equipment which would measure his oxygen and carbon dioxide output. We would take this as a baseline. The subject would then consume an amount of alcohol and carbohydrate, and after 20 minutes or so we would repeat the spirometry test, and compare the results<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
