Read More »The discovery of leptin in 1994 caused a lot of excitement as scientists hoped they could use it to help people control their weight. Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells that affects the way the body stores and burns energy. It is sometimes known as a satiety drug because it reduces appetite. Researchers soon learned some facts about leptin that debunked their original assumptions. They found that people with obesity had plenty of leptin in their bodies but still gained weight. They presumed that people who are overweight may have a condition called leptin resistance. Researchers also learned that leptin supplements don't work since they can't get past the blood-brain barrier and are metabolized by the body. Why You Need Leptin In addition to regulating appetite, leptin has been found to play many roles in the body, including boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and creating healthy bones. However, these roles require additional research to be fully supported. Leptin works in combination with another hormone, ghrelin, which signals hunger. Together these are called the hunger hormones since they control how often and how much you want to eat. Yet, scientists think that leptin plays a more important role than ghrelin. Although supplements of leptin were found ineffective for weight control, doctors treat a few conditions with injections of a synthetic form of leptin, including: Congenital Leptin Deficiency Congenital leptin deficiency results in uncontrolled hunger. It is usually discovered early in life when children exhibit severe obesity and delayed puberty. Injections of a leptin analog are effective in controlling this condition. Generalized Lipodystrophy Generalized lipodystrophy is a serious condition in which individuals have almost no body fat. Often they accumulate fat in their organs, and may develop metabolic health risks such as diabetes. Because they have few fat cells, people with this condition don't produce enough leptin. Therefore, they are treated with injections of a synthetic leptin.

Many people know drinking lots of water throughout the day has health benefits to it and can help you lose weight, but how do you know just how much your body type needs to be effective? Here is a simple way to calculate how much water you should be drinking in a day: Multiply your weight by 2/3 (.67) – this will give you a good approximation of how much water to drink in a day. To take it a step further you will want to adjust that based on how much you work out. Add an additional 12 ounces to your daily total for every 30 minutes you work out.
