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
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
Fiber, Leptin, and Weight Loss
Dietary fiber is one of the fundamentals of a healthy diet. In terms of using fiber to support weight management, I recommend 35 – 50 grams of fiber per day (men on the higher side), based on information presented in this article. A lack of adequate dietary fiber will eventually stall any weight-loss efforts.Read More: Fiber, insoluble fiber, insulin resistance
Insulin, Leptin, and Blood Sugar – Why Diabetic Medication Fails
Type II diabetes is a difficult metabolic problem. It is a national embarrassment that so many of our young people are becoming type II diabetic. It is a national disgrace that millions of type II diabetic patients are being injured with commonly used diabetic medications that are known to make their metabolic situation worse.Read More: Cardio Helper, Cinnamon Plus™, Daily Protein™, DHA, Fiber Helper™, insulin, insulin resistance, LeptiSlim®, Pycnogenols, type 2 diabetes
How Vitamin D Prevents Breast Cancer
It has been known for some time that vitamin D inhibits breast cancer cells and tumor growth. Scientists are now trying to understand how vitamin D works its magic. New research shows that vitamin D activates tumor suppressor gene activity, and that activity is supported in direct proportion to the amount of vitamin D.Read More: breast cancer, insulin resistance, Vitamin D, weight gain
How Fish Oil Rescues Metabolism from Obesity
DHA in particular, and fish oil in general, have been shown to have a powerful influence on the health and well being of your stored fat, as well as other aspects of metabolism such as insulin resistance. In a new study working with the obese leptin-lacking mice, researchers demonstrated the precise novel ways in which fish oil can protect against obesity, even in an animal that has no choice but to become obese.Read More: DHA, fish oil, insulin resistance, protection, resolvin
Mangosteen Reduces Fat Cell Inflammation and Insulin Resistance
A new mangosteen study shows that the xanthone antioxidants are able to regulate important gene signals in fat cells, reducing adverse inflammation and insulin resistance (by stabilizing adiponectin levels).Read More: insulin resistance, mangosteen, NF-kappaB
High Fructose Corn Syrup – Disease in a Can
High fructose corn syrup continues to poison Americans who are silly enough to consume the stuff, which appears to be a great many people apparently hopelessly addicted to the flavoring stimulants used in their favorite drinks. A new study demonstrates that if you are the child of a type II diabetic parent, then you are at greater risk for developing cholesterol problems, insulin resistance, and leptin resistance if you consume high fructose corn syrup.Read More: high fructose corn syrup, insulin resistance, VLDL triglycerides
Low Adiponectin Starts Cardiovascular Disease in Motion
Adiponectin and leptin are the two primary hormones secreted from your stored fat. In health, they are released in balance. As body weight rises, then leptin increases and adiponectin decreases. It has been known for some time that the lowering of adiponectin is the primary cause of insulin resistance in your liver. This new study shows that low adiponectin is associated with adverse changes in your circulatory system that lead to plaque accumulation and hardening of your arteries.Read More: adiponectin, arteries, heart disease, insulin resistance
Sluggish Thyroid Impairs Blood Sugar Metabolism
An interesting study shows that individuals with insulin resistance and low thyroid have a much more difficult time trying to fix their metabolism. On a 16 week weight loss program of diet and exercise, those without thyroid problems were much more able to correct insulin resistance.Read More: insulin resistance
