Lecithin For Metabolic Weight Loss
by Aldrich CusensThe speed of your metabolism is the key to burning body fat. A faster metabolism enables the body to burn fat faster, which is why active children don't usually face weight issues. However, as we age our metabolism slows down and it becomes more difficult to keep the extra pounds off. The question is: what can be done to bring life back into a sluggish metabolism?
The liver is the key organ for fat metabolism. Surprised? The liver has many functions. It is the main organ for detoxifying the pollutants and chemicals in the body. It also serves as glycogen storage, plasma protein synthesis and bile production, which is important in digestion. Bile, by the way, is also key to metabolizing the fats that are stored in the liver; it converts these fats into energy for the body to use.
The connections between the liver, fat metabolism, and eventual weight loss may seem remote at first. When you bring lecithin into the fold, however, you've found the key ingredient that brings them all together.
Your Liver and Weight Loss
Many of us are constantly struggling with weight gain. It's an ongoing battle that some people spend a lifetime fighting. We endure yo-yo dieting, with our weight constantly going up and down. At the same time, we contend with sluggish metabolisms and unbridled cravings. In the end, hardly anything ever works.
Success in weight loss requires addressing the root of the problem, rather than constantly trying to tackle the symptoms. A sluggish liver and congestion throughout the body will certainly lead to fatigue and malaise, but this is only part of an ongoing problem.
Weight gain is often attributed to poor liver function. When your liver is in such poor health as to make it unable to perform its basic functions, then there is a very likely chance that the condition will result in weight gain. Excessive weight due to liver malfunction will often show as cellulite, water retention and extra inches around the abdomen.
Bile's Role in Losing Weight
One of the liver's main functions is to secrete bile. Also known as gall, bile is a complex, bitter, greenish-yellow alkaline fluid. This fluid contains water, electrolytes, and a battery of organic molecules including bile acids, bilirubin, cholesterol and phospholipids, or lecithin. Bile is a critical element in digestion, particularly in the metabolism and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Additionally, many of the body's waste products are excreted into the bile.
Lecithin is an important element of bile, acting as an emulsifier and antioxidant. It helps to disperse cholesterol and break it down into essential fatty acids. Lecithin has a phosphate group that makes it hydrophobic, allowing it to move away from water and the fluids surrounding molecules. It also has a lipophilic (fat-loving) head that moves toward the fats.
As a result, lecithin helps to stabilize the fatty acid molecules by forming a semi-permeable, lipophilic/hydrophobic ring around them. This emulsifying action helps to keep the bile stable and enables the liver to perform its many functions, including cholesterol breakdown and fat metabolism.
Losing Weight with Lecithin
In the years since scientists first discovered the role that lecithin plays in fat and cholesterol metabolism in the liver, many researchers have focused their studies on the connection between lecithin and weight loss. Can lecithin really contribute to weight loss? If so, what evidence proves that there is indeed that connection between weight loss and lecithin?
Many studies remain unreported, however, one investigation proves that there is some bearing on lecithin for weight loss. In this study, choline was found to be a component of phosphatidylcholine, which is one of the many names that scientists use to refer to lecithin. Choline is a nutrient essential to the human body that has the ability to break cholesterol into small particles and allow them to be easily handled by the digestive system. A sufficient intake of lecithin prevents the cholesterol building up within the walls of the veins and arteries.
It seems that the effect of lecithin on the liver can increase metabolism and, as a result, help you to shed extra pounds. You can find lecithin in many soy products, or take it as a supplement. Include lecithin in your healthy diet and exercise regime.
