Jogging Helps Correct Leptin Problems

Elevating levels of the hormone leptin typically accompany abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure. Leptin seeks to communicate, as if making a phone call, to the soluble leptin receptors in numerous locations throughout the body and general circulatory system. This communication is vital for the normal function of metabolism, production of energy, and virtually all aspects of cardiovascular health.

Contrary to much faulty dietary advice, new science shows that fat is required, along with exercise, to stimulate fat cells to break down stored fat in overweight individuals. It is quite true that eating too much fat, especially in combination with refined sugar, will lead to weight gain. However, this new information shows that a low-fat diet is not the best way for an overweight person to stimulate weight loss.

Adequate Oxygenation Vital to Healthy Metabolism

New research is uncovering how hemoglobin behaves within a cell to deliver oxygen to the cell engines so that calories can be burned as fuel. Oxygen must be present within cells in order for metabolism to work at an optimal rate. Thyroid hormone is short-circuited at the cellular level if oxygen is not present.

Fitness More Important than Obesity for Survival in Elderly

An interesting new study in older Americans shows very clearly that those who are the most fit live the longest. Fit fatter people live longer than thin unfit people. Of course, those who are overweight have a tendency to become unfit – a bad combination. It is now also clear that those overweight early in life are more likely to get a variety of diseases. However, these new findings are quite encouraging to those who are consistently exercising in an effort to improve their health, yet may still be struggling with their weight.
