What Is The Current Weight Loss Miracle?
More than half of the American population is overweight and the problem seems to be getting worse every year. Obesity is even trickling down to our kids; there are more children who are overweight than ever before. Most of us know that in order for us to lose weight we have to reduce the number of calories we take in and/ or increase the number of calories we burn off. Our bodies will use food we consume as energy, but the food that isn't used is stored as fat. The good news is Omegga-3 fatty acids can help us burn off those calories before they get a chance to sit around in storage as an end result we will end up carrying less excess weight.
If you increased the amount of omega- 3's in your diet and decreased your intake of pro-inflammatory high-glycemic carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and also saturated fats (found in meats, fried foods etc.) Then as a result, unwanted weight would eventually start to fall off. Not to mention other benefits like nourishing the skin, hair, nerves, glands and help to possibly prevent cardiovascular disease. Moreover, these essential fatty acids encourage the body to burn the excess fat as heat and to promote insulin sensitivity. The combination of burning the fat as heat and increasing insulin sensitivity helps to reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes.
When the food we eat is consumed there is one of two pathways the food takes in our bodies. The first one is food calories can be burned inside our cells in the mitochondria to produce ATP, which is used to store and release energy for work within the body. Another name for this process is called Oxidative Phosphorylation. The food can also be stored as body fat or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. The goal would be to uncouple the oxidation from the phosphorylation. Then the food calories can be burned off by thermogenesis. If the majority of food that we eat could be burned up as heat then more of us would stay slim and lean. Omega 3's can actually uncouple the oxidation from the phosphorylation and also increase insulin sensitivity. Insulin receptors are found in our cell's plasma membrane. Essential fatty acids helps keep this critical and fragile portion of our cell flexible, thereby keeping these receptors intact.
