Psychotic Stress is Associated with Imbalanced Fat Cells
Fat is now recognized as a metabolic organ. Leptin is the primary hormone secreted by fat cells, as fully explained in The Leptin Diet. A companion hormone that is also secreted by fat cells is called adiponectin. Adiponectin maintains insulin sensitivity, especially in the liver. When leptin resistance sets in and an individual gains weight, adiponectin levels drop. As they drop a person becomes insulin resistant, thus setting the stage for eventual diabetes. A new study shows that adiponectin levels and mood are directly linked.Read More: adiponectin, fat cells, insulin
Do You Eat to Live or Eat to Die?
Science is now very clear that eating too much food causes leptin resistance and insulin resistance in the subconscious brain, especially as one ages. Unfortunately, these malfunctioning brain signals also cause a person to eat more than is needed in order to feel full, setting up a vicious catch 22 that sends a person on the path to serious health problems.Read More: diet, health problems, insulin, Leptin Diet, overeating
Aerobics and Strength Training Improve Blood Sugar Control
I am often asked what exercise is best for weight loss and health in general. The answer is: any exercise – and many new studies show a combination of various types of exercise are superior to any one form of exercise by itself....Read More: aerobics, Exercise, fitness, insulin, metabolic fitness, strength training
Resveratrol Improves Insulin Function and Longevity
Resveratrol is a natural antiseptic compound produced in plants when they are under attack, especially by mold. It is highly concentrated in red grapes that grow in damp or moldy areas. It is also contained in roots of plants used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, such as Polygonum cuspidatum.Read More: anti-aging, anti-cancer, insulin, insulin resistance, Resveratrol
B Vitamin Deficient Parents More Likely to Produce Overweight Children
Proper health preparation prior to and during pregnancy has a profound affect on the future health of the child. The “fetal programming” that takes place is especially involved with energy regulation, formation of metabolic “hardware,” and the likelihood of obesity during childhood or even adulthood.Read More: B Vitamins, calcium folinate, DNA, Folic Acid, high blood pressure, insulin, metabolism, methylcobalamin, The Leptin Diet
Quality Sleep is a Weight-Loss Key
I have long reported that sleep is the primary fat-burning time, especially when a person does not eat food before bed. Of course if you exercise you will burn more calories during and following exercise; but in terms of the ideal time of the day to simply burn more fat it is during sleep. Between meals during the day (assuming you do not snack) you will burn 60% glucose and 40% fatty acids. After 6 hours of not eating (such as during sleep) this ratio flips around and you begin to burn 60% fatty acids until you wake up, your prime fat-burning time if you have managed your daily eating patterns according to the Leptin Diet.Read More: childhood obesity, children, eating before bed, fat burning, glycine, insulin, magnesium, metabolism, sleep
Bone Health Opens a New Door to Blood Sugar Metabolism
It was surprising enough when fat was found making various hormones like leptin and adiponectin and thus became an endocrine organ (hormone secreting). It is now time to add bones to the list of endocrine organs that have a major influence on the metabolism of calories. The new discoveries have immediate implications for improved bone health, improved blood sugar levels, and weight management.Read More: gulcose metabolism, insulin, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptin Diet, Leptinal®, metabolism, osteoblasts, osteocalcin
Pollution is One Major Cause of Diabetes and Obesity
In the January 25, 2008 issue of the Lancet an article appears, which if followed up on, would positively change the health of all Americans for generations to come. The article is titled Environmental pollution and diabetes: a neglected association. It is based on a solid scientific link between insulin resistance and pollution, especially compounds like PCBs and many pesticides used on food.Read More: ADD, body fat, breast cancer, detoxification, EPA, FDA, insulin, organic food, PCBs, pesticides, pollution, toxins
New Obesity Link to Breast and Prostate Cancer
New information helps to explain how breast and prostate cancer are linked to obesity. Two hormones that come from fat, leptin and adiponectin, are involved in the problem.Read More: adiponectin, breast cancer, hormone, insulin, insulin resistance, Leptin Diet, metabolism, prostate cancer
Refined Carbohydrates Linked to Breast Cancer
A new study demonstrates that both estrogen positive and estrogen negative breast cancer in post menopausal women is linked directly to the size of their waistline and consumption of junky carbohydrates.Read More: breast cancer, carbohydrates, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Protein Plus™, Daily Protein™, insulin, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, waistline
