Sets the pace for the day!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our ‘got-to-go’ society, the trend has been to skip breakfast and ‘grab something on the run’ which more and more has become coffee and a muffin or other sweet pastry, and give the kids some sort of starch and sugar in a box with low fat milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInsulin and Leptin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo hormones, insulin and leptin are now clearly at the center of discussion and need to be understood in order to get this epidemic under control. Hormones are chemical messengers that direct, orchestrate and regulate all your body’s activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two in particular govern when you are hungry, when to stop eating, what your body should do with its glucose and fat…store it or burn it…(I know which one I’d rather have happening!!)\u003cbr\u003e Insulin is such an important hormone that without it, cells would stop allowing glucose (your energy molecule) from entering through the cell membrane and be metabolized for energy production. Diabetics know this only too well, but so do top athletes who strive to achieve enhanced performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeptin on the other hand is a hormone, produced by your fat cells. It tells your brain when you should eat, how much, and WHEN to stop. It also has other critical functions such as regulating blood circulation, preventing blood clots, enhancing new bone growth, and regulating body temperature and cell reproduction to name but a few.\u003cbr\u003e When the body’s levels of both are too high, you have serious problems with sugar and fat metabolism, which commonly leads to blood sugar issues and excessive weight. The culprit is progressive Insulin and Leptin Resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Insulin Resistance, the body’s sugar levels progressively increase in an attempt to trick the cell in absorbing more glucose, because elevated insulin levels gradually slow the process down. It leads to a vicious circle of hyper and hypoglycemic events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Leptin Resistance, your body’s ‘fat burning’ slows down, giving rise to sweet cravings and more fat storage. This in turn leads to the same degenerative diseases as insulin resistance. Look at it this way, the more your inadequate diet triggers high levels of Insulin or Leptin, the more your body gets ‘tired’ of the constant demand (nagging) for sugar and the more your insulin just stops ‘listening’ and shuts down it’s receptors (preventing absorption into the cell). This is ‘Resistance’. Sound a lot like a nagging spouse syndrome doesn’t it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth hormones are ‘regulators’ and as such should not be inhibited by drugs lest you want a whole lot of side effects. For the majority of people, the only sensible way for these two to return to normal is to adopt dietary changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innotech Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Dutch Chocolate","offer_id":42622347444395,"sku":"6002-DiscoSupplier","price":41.77,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"French Vanilla","offer_id":42622347477163,"sku":"6022-DiscoSupplier","price":41.77,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/Innotech-BodyFlex-AM-800g-Dutch-Chocolate_2ebd60a1-61b3-4290-877d-1b792ec57237.jpg?v=1713483902","url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/products\/innotech-bodyflex-am","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
