The study showed an 18 % reduced production of a special

By increasing your insulin and
leptin levels (and subsequently decreasing receptor sensitivity for both
of these vital
hormones), excessive sugar / fructose consumption not only increases your risk
of type 2 diabetes, it also accelerates aging in general.
The most effective
of those fat loss diets and programs work by actively modulating the levels
of hormones insulin or
leptin, by adjusting the
type of food we eat (low glycemic or low carbohydrate are best), or by modifications
of meal size and / or meal times.
In addition, stress (both physical and mental), environment, poor foods (sugary, processed, or fast food), high blood - insulin levels (
type - 2 diabetes), hormonal imbalance (estrogen and menopause) and obesity (
leptin, adiponectin and other dietary
hormone imbalance) are just a few
of the factors that promote chronic inflammation.
This means that unless you can perfectly match your insulin replacement to the
type and level
of activity that you're doing, specifically taking into account the action that
leptin (to name one
hormone of many) should be doing, your aerobic system will still be functioning anomalously.
Type 2 diabetes is actually a disease caused by insulin resistance and faulty
leptin (a relatively recently discovered
hormone produced by fat) signaling, both
of which are regulated through your diet.
