Carnosine Helps Fat Metabolism

A new study shows that carnosine promotes the normal function of nerves to stimulate the breakdown of fat via histamine receptors.

Grape Seed Extract Lowers White Adipose Tissue Inflammation

One of the most devastating health aspects of being overweight is the change in immune system status within white adipose tissue fat stores. There is a major shift of macrophages into the white adipose tissue which act in a highly inflammatory manner to alter the function of stored fat so that it becomes metabolically incompetent as well as directly adding to the overall inflammatory burden of one’s body. This is why obesity is associated with more prevalence and earlier onset of any of the diseases of aging (cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc). A new study shows that grape seed extract can turn down the inflammatory signals and consequent free radical damage from these white adipose tissue macrophages.

Curcumin: Linking Leptin, Obesity, Joint Problems, and Inflammation

Curcumin is the yellow pigment derived from the spice tumeric. Fine quality dietary supplements standardize curcumin for the amount of curcuminoids, the primary biologically active ingredient. It is widely researched as an anti-inflammatory nutrient with cancer-risk reduction properties. A number of new studies demonstrate how curcumin can reduce the inflammation associated with obesity and in so doing simultaneously improve joint health.

DHA Omega 3 Fatty Acids in the War Against Obesity

Dietary intake of DHA omega 3 essential fatty acids is woefully lacking all around the world. In populations that have adequate access to other foods this correlates strongly with the world-wide obesity epidemic. A new study reviews the multiple mechanisms by which omega 3 fatty acids, especially DHA, can combat the obesity epidemic.

Resveratrol Helps Improve the Fitness of Your Fat

The health of your white adipose tissue determines your metabolic and cardiovascular risk. Many nutrients are showing that they can favorably influence the fitness of your fat and a new study shows that resveratrol is one of them.

How DHA Helps Inflammation and Diabetes

Macrophages accumulate in excess in extra pounds of body fat. Once there they generate excess amounts of inflammation that not only causes insulin resistance that leads to type 2 diabetes but also adds to the overall inflammatory burden of the entire body making a person more at risk for any disease of aging. A new study proves the molecular mechanism by which DHA turns off macrophage inflammation within white adipose tissue.

Nobiletin and Tangeretin Prevent Insulin Resistance by Improving Fat Fitness

Nobiletin and Tangeretin are citrus-derived polymethoxyflavonoids, uniquely structured flavonoids that are now shown to directly interact with white adipose tissue in a way that makes your stored fat much healthier, including the prevention of insulin resistance.

Why Toxins and Waste Products Impede Weight Loss - The Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge #3

Your body's ability to process trash, including toxic trash, is a pervasive factor in your ability to lose weight and reach a healthy goal weight. Struggling with this issue activates backup strategies for dealing with toxic overload, which include expanding the number of fat cells and stuffing them with toxins as well as fat. This is likely done to get the toxic trash out of your circulation and away from key organs. It causes easy weight gain and complicates weight loss because your body does not easily give up the toxic fat it has stored.
