Hormonal disruption and body weight.

The fight against obesity can be lost if the reasons for gaining excess weight are incorrectly identified. It is generally accepted that excessive eating is the cause of overweight. But in fact, all the causes of obesity lie in metabolic disorders in cells, which are significantly influenced by hormones. There is a direct relationship between excess adipose tissue and the work of hormones for the reason that the substances themselves, called hormones, are produced in the body from fat reserves. And there is a cyclical nature: for the production of hormones, fats are needed, and for the assimilation of fats, hormones are needed that regulate the metabolism of fats. It is from this circle of addictions that it is necessary to break out of a person who is fighting for the normal weight of his body.

Endocrinology, namely, it deals with hormonal disruptions and the fight against obesity, recommends a set of tests that will reliably show which hormones in excess or deficiency affect the failure in the utilization and consumption of fats and carbohydrates.

The question always arises: if adipose tissue accumulates, then what does carbohydrates have to do with it? Unfortunately, carbohydrates are also responsible for the formation of excess fat - it's all about redox reactions that always accompany all digestive processes. At the beginning of the way of processing fats, proteins and carbohydrates, they are broken down by enzymes to simple chemical compounds, and then, if necessary and according to the "program" of the body's functioning, they are combined in a certain order, forming already complex compounds necessary for the life support of the body. So carbohydrates, fermenting and breaking down into their constituent parts, then through complex biochemical recovery processes are converted and deposited into energy complexes, and then into fatty deposits.

Hormonal disruption and body weight can be correlated by analyzing the main endocrine disorders.

One of the important analyzes indicating disruptions in metabolic processes is the analysis for insulin resistance. According to its results, one can judge how the sugars are utilized in the body, whether glucose is fully absorbed with the participation of the hormone insulin. As a rule, an insulin-resistant organism requires frequent nutrition from its owner, since it does not receive glucose. Frequent and high-calorie snacks lead to excess weight, and glucose continues to not be absorbed.

The second most important analysis is a large-scale study of hormonal status. In other words, the identification of reduced or increased levels of all hormones, including sex hormones, growth hormone, thyroid hormones, stress hormone (cortisol). So the hubbub of growth during the period when it works for the growth of the body, prevents its obesity, but with age, this hormone loses part of the functions assigned to it, which is accompanied by increased fat deposits during the aging of the body (which, in principle, starts from the age of 25). The stress hormone, when disrupted, disrupts focus on food intake and interferes with dietary restrictions. A decrease in the hormonal functions of the thyroid gland affects metabolic processes. Sex hormones are fat-dependent hormones, so their imbalance always results in an excess of fat stores, and a lack of fat stores always leads to restrictions in the synthesis of these hormones.

The third necessary analysis is an analysis to identify enzymatic disorders - intolerance to food ingredients. Lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, impaired absorption of calcium, iron, vitamins, impaired metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates - these processes regulate gastrointestinal hormones, pancreatic and adrenal hormones. This analysis is intended to identify irregularities in the work of these hormones.

The fourth test required is an analysis for liver enzymes, which will show how the liver, the main utilizer and storage of fats, functions. The analysis allows you to identify abnormalities in the liver by markers released by the liver into the blood.

An especially important analysis is an analysis of the level of cholesterol in the blood, which allows you to understand the quality and quantity of fats consumed in food.

Fighting excess weight is proper nutrition, but the nutrition, the principles of which are developed based on the results of the above analyzes. And the correction of hormones is the key to a complete and effective assimilation of food, and not its transformation into excess weight. For this reason, before limiting yourself in nutrition, it is worth taking care of a healthy hormonal background, and then many delicious favorite foods will not have to be excluded from consumption.
