Leptin and insulin .. Hormones that control appetite and weight

Interfere with certain hormones in the regulation of weight and control appetite, such as "insulin" which is produced by the pancreas, and "leptin" which is produced by fat cells in the body, endorphins, carried out by the brain, hormones generated by both the thyroid and adrenal glands.



According to U.S. studies published recently in different body's reaction to food, from person to person, some are used to excessive food without putting on weight one gram, while others suffer from an increase in weight after eating a grain of additional chocolate! The researchers attribute it to two reasons: first reason is the genetic factor, while the second reason involves hormonal groups that control the dietary habits and lifestyle.

Dr. Jalal Jalal greatest President of the Department of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Science at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, explains in his interview with the magazine "Madam" specification categories hormonal and nutritional programs appropriate for each type.



The category of insulin



This class is hungry between meals, especially in the afternoon. In this context, studies show, "Organization of the American Diabetes" that:



- Individuals who have a good appetite and overindulge in eating different kinds of food, prefer to finish their meals and the main foods sweetened and sugary material

- Individuals who prefer a light meal tend to eat sugary foods between meals, the main excessively, even though they do not eat large quantities of food on the main meals.



It concludes that these studies belonging to this category often suffer from high blood pressure, and at risk of diabetes, and excess pounds are concentrated in the top section of the body.

 The increase in weight in this category to the so-called "insulin resistance", a condition where the pancreas are forced to increase its production of this hormone to counter the sudden rise in blood sugar resulting from excessive intake of food and sweets. And, in turn, will enhance the increase in the amount of "insulin" store fat in the body as fat Triple (Triglisraad), which leads to high blood pressure, heart disease, as it will hinder the consumption of natural fats stored in advance in the fat cells, leading eventually to increased fat harmful and weight.

 Fruit is distinguished by fruit high content of sugar "fructose" and free full of fat, as it is slow burning and low in the index of glucose, making it the ideal food for the owners of this category, especially species containing a high percentage of sugar, two agencies, mangoes, dates, grapes, and to compensate for hypoglycemia resulting from sudden excessive intake of simple carbohydrates (cakes, biscuits and cakes).



Legumes and whole grains: It is recommended to address all types of carbohydrates (pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, whole wheat products), legumes (beans, lentils, dry beans, chickpeas).



Milk: It is recommended for that category milk and eating low-fat cheese (less Desmha rate of 45% for full-fat products), and prefers consumption of yogurt without sugar flavors enhanced.

 Beverage: warn U.S. researchers from the excessive intake of coffee, tea and soft drinks because they contain high levels of caffeine, which studies prove modern influence in weakening the body's ability to control the levels of glucose and insulin in the blood, since according to results of a study supervised by with ever increasing sugar blood by 21% and insulin by 48% after eating a meal. Therefore, it is recommended more frequent intake of mineral water, mint, anise, green tea, hibiscus, in the absence of developing high blood pressure.



Foods hostile



It should be the owners of a class of insulin hormone to avoid the following foods:

 - Avoid eating foods low in nutritional value and high in calories and fats Kalhloyat.



Category of stress hormone

 Constant stress may cause disruption in the secretion of hormones in the organs of the body, especially the device that regulates the work of the adrenal glands above the kidneys incidents directly, which leads to a surplus in the hormone "cortisol" which reduces the secretion of "leptin", to feel that the body is suffering a shortage in food and in need of energy, and active at the same time of production of a protein in the brain give rise to the appetite to eat, known as Neuropeptide Y.
