Running Tips to Improve
Leptin & Fat Burning

Aerobic exercise is the ultimate fat burning exercise, especially when a person is fit enough to do a one hour aerobic session at fairly high output. Of course strength training, stretching, relaxing, walking, and general physical activity are equally important. I am simply partial to running and recommend three to four one hour sessions per week. Four times instead of three is helpful if you happen to eat more, such as on the weekend, which tends to happen often.

Running is proven to help curb your appetite. Plus, it increases the amount of active leptin receptors in your body, meaning that running helps train your leptin system to work better. It even has a rejuvenating effect. This is wonderful news, since just about every stressor is knocking leptin for a loop.

If you run for one hour, during the first 15 minutes you are mostly using sugar that has been stored in your muscles as glycogen. For the next 15 minutes, while you're using sugar that has been stored in your liver as glycogen, you also start to turn on fat burning (triglycerides). During the last 30 to 60 minutes you really kick into fat burning mode. This has a dramatic improvement in clearing fat sludge (triglycerides) out of your circulation, which otherwise clogs leptin from getting into your brain. Now that leptin can get into your brain better, you will have less appetite.

You also move your lymph system significantly while you run, which helps your body process toxic sludge. Of course, toxins also come out in your sweat. Thus, not only does running burn calories it also helps your leptin and detox systems in multiple ways.

As you run, and as leptin is working better in your body, leptin can do a rather miraculous thing. It can turn on a system in your muscles that disposes of calories as heat. This is done by activating something called an uncoupling protein in your muscles. Now, instead of making energy and heat, your muscles can just make heat out of calories, literally throwing the calories away. This is a fantastic fat burning method. It has been tried before by activating brown adipose tissue with stimulants (like caffeine or the now banned ephedra). However, when this is activated by exercise it does not elevate your adrenaline level or stress your heart or kidneys, it is totally safe!

You can boost this uncoupling protein response by taking coenzyme Q10 before you exercise.* Personally, I take anywhere from 200 mg to 500 mg right before I run. I take several different compounds before I run, to help make running easier and maximize my metabolic response to the exercise. These are not mandatory, but you may find them as helpful as I do:

Pantethine - I call pantethine "runner's high in a bottle." It fuels the production of energy in numerous ways, providing notable support for your adrenals, your mood, and your ability to mobilize fat into calorie burning while you run. I take 600 mg before I run (Two capsules).*
Cardio Helper™ - I call Cardio Helper™ "oxygen in a bottle." I simply cannot believe how much more oxygen I feel in my body when taking two capsules of Cardio Helper™ before I run. As any runner knows, the more oxygen you have the less lactic acid gets in the way.*
Muscle Mag™ - Muscle Mag™ provides magnesium, malic acid, and related co-factors that reduce muscle fatigue and the rate at which muscles make lactic acid while running. It is a lot easier to maintain a higher level aerobic pace for an extended period of time with Muscle Mag™ (Two capsules before running).*
Q10 - I call Q10 the "cellular spark plug." If you are lacking Q10, as is typical with age, you simply cannot make energy efficiently and this includes the energy you need to get positive benefits from running. Q10 has been shown to help muscles function better and turn on genes in muscles that help you burn fat while you exercise (200 mg to 500 mg before running).*

Pantethine

Pantethine is the co-enzyme form of vitamin B5, which helps make the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase that clears many aldehyde-based chemicals common in today's pollution (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde). Acetaldehyde is the breakdown product of alcohol as well as the toxin produced by Candida. Pantethine is especially good at clearing brain fog. Because pantethine also provides your liver energy (Acetyl CoA), including energy to help metabolize stuck fatty sludge out of your liver, it can help detoxification and liver function in multiple ways (including Phase 2 acetylation) and works well with Daily Balancer™ for any person wanting more comprehensive liver support - especially during weight loss efforts.*

Cardio Helper™

Contains high amounts of resveratrol and grape seed extract, two nutrients that assist insulin function while being highly protective to your circulatory system. Along with hawthorn and horse chestnut, this product also provides comprehensive support for your cardiovascular system while at the same time protects and strengthens the heart. Supports healthy fluid balance, especially in legs.*

Magnesium, Muscle Mag™

A special formulation of magnesium bound to malic acid, with important co-factors. Malic acid is the most important Krebs Cycle nutrient that prevents muscle fatigue. Magnesium enables muscle to relax, so they do not tighten up too much.*

Q 10, CoQ10

Q10 enhances the use of oxygen in energy production within a cell. Muscles have the highest oxygen use of any tissue in the body, thus a lack of Q10 may cause muscle fatigue. Q10 helps activate uncoupling protein for increased fat burning during sustained exercise.*

Q10, Super CoQ10 Ubiquinol

The Ubiquinol form of Q10 is an excellent antioxidant nutrient. It supports cellular energy production and cardiovascular health.*
