Toronto, Canada |Saturday, July 25, 2015 Researchers Identify Enzyme Responsible For Increasing Fat Storage In The Belly, Lower Back And Hips
The relationship between stress, cortisol and an increase in body fat has been well established. However, new research has identified a little known enzyme deep within fat cells called 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 or HSD. The HSD enzyme converts the inactive form of cortisol (called cortisone) into the active, fat storing form called cortisol.
Researchers in Germany noted that the rate of activity of the HSD enzyme determines the rate of fat storage in the individual. When individuals were experiencing high levels of HSD activity, no amount of exercise, diet or stress management are able to prevent fat gain.
Scientists from the Mayo Clinic have also shown that cortisol can be released via pathways other than the adrenal glands. Fat tissue (as well as the liver and other organs) is capable of producing fat storing cortisol via activation of the HSD enzyme. This cortisol production may actually be greater than that from the adrenal glands and may explain why meditation, yoga and other stress management methods are often ineffective at reducing cortisol and the associated fat gain.
The discovery of this enzyme offers up an explanation for those individuals who have normal stress levels, consume a healthy diet, exercise on a regular basis and get sufficient sleep but are still experiencing unexplained weight gain- especially in the abdominal region and other trouble spot areas.
Researchers have concluded that "the regulation of HSD levels is vital to deactivating fat storage and reducing belly fat".
Recent research into compounds known as flavenoids proves that HSD can be blocked naturally using common foods. In fact, one food in particular contains a substance known as ploymethoxylated flavenoids or PMFs and can reduce HSD activity 500% more than other flavenoids!
A nutritionist from Toronto, Canada has developed a new cleansing method that deactivates HSD and melts away stubborn fat from areas such as the belly, lower abdomen, hips and thighs. You can discover exactly how this method works by clicking HERE!
