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.

A Fat Stomach Sets the Stage for Cognitive Decline

A three decade study looked into the relationship between abdominal fat and the risk for developing dementia. The findings are not good news for any person with extra weight around the middle. It was revealed that the larger your waistline in your 40s, the greater the risk for developing dementia in later life.

Abdominal Fat Stresses Overall Metabolism

Stored fat, especially abdominal fat, signifies far more than just bothersome extra weight. It indicates a metabolic problem in that the stored fat is itself dysfunctional, contributing to problems all over your body including slowing down your metabolism and inducing insulin resistance.

Exercise Helps Prevent the Re-Accumulation of Dangerous Fat

Visceral fat is the kind that accumulates in the abdominal region and is associated with highly inflammatory disease-related risk. A new study had individuals exercise 40 minutes twice a week for one year following a period of weight loss. This small amount of exercise completely prevented the re-accumulation of the high disease risk fat. The researchers found that aerobic exercise and resistance training were equally effective for this purpose.

Waistline Clearly Linked to Mortality Risk

A nine-year study of 48,500 U.S. men and 56,343 U.S. women has shown that the larger your waistline the higher your risk for mortality. This study adds a new twist to what is already fairly obvious. It showed once again that those who are really obese have double the rate of early death. However, it also showed (especially in women) that having an expanded waistline (even if you are normal weight) was associated with a 25% increased risk of mortality.

Abdominal Fat More Difficult to Lose

A new study analyzed the amount of abdominal and liver fat in 243 people and then put them on a diet along with moderate exercise. Those who lost the most weight had the least amount of problematic fat in the first place. This helps explain why some people have a more difficult time losing weight than others.

Lactoferrin Can Help Shrink a Fat Stomach

A new double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that individuals with abdominal obesity who took 300 mg of lactoferrin per day for 8 weeks had a significant reduction in abdominal fat, body weight, BMI, and hip circumference. Those taking lactoferrin lost 1.79 inches from their waistline, compared to 0.35 inches in the control group.

Aerobics Beats Weight Lifting for Loss of Belly Fat

Researchers at Duke University conducted an eight-month study on aerobics (12 miles jogging per week) compared to weight lifting (3 heavy sessions per week) in overweight individuals aged 18 to 70. Aerobic exercise burned 70 percent more calories, reduced fatty liver and abdominal fat, lowered liver enzymes (liver inflammation), and improved insulin function.
