Insulin is responsible for storing fat.
Leptin can promote fat burning.
What is leptin?
A protein hormone secreted by fat cells.
It enters the brain through the blood, acts on the hypothalamus, stimulates nerve receptors, and sends out the signal of "I'm full".
The main functions of leptin:
Inhibit appetite, increase energy consumption and inhibit fat synthesis.
How to make leptin work?
The key is to improve leptin sensitivity.
① Eat less sugary food when three meals are scheduled.
Carbohydrate food has a great influence on leptin secretion.
Especially excessive intake of sugar, fructose, syrup and other sugary foods will seriously affect the role of leptin.
Eat less sugary food, take coarse grains flour and rice as the staple food, and add more protein and fatty foods.
(2) Ensure adequate sleep.
Studies have shown that if you don't get enough sleep for a long time, the leptin concentration in your body will drop.
Good rest and good sleep are the best ways to regulate leptin secretion. Sleep for 7-9 hours.
③ Do more high-intensity interval training.
High-intensity interval training can better improve leptin levels and burn fat continuously after training.
Pay attention to the following five points!
1. Eat more dietary fiber to promote intestinal peristalsis.
2. Eat more protein to improve the brain's sensitivity to leptin.
3. Refuse to process food, such as pickled and fried food.
4. Reduce the intake of sugary foods and refuse to add foods containing trans fatty acids.
5. Keep a happy mood and avoid increasing cortisol and disturbing hormones.
Leptin is called the hormone that has the greatest influence on weight loss! Only by controlling leptin can we easily enjoy thinness ~
Let's not talk about anything else. Have you had enough sleep today?
