One third of all U.S. adults are obese, and 69% of all Americans are either overweight or obese.
Obesity is almost inevitable: with the notoriously health-sapping American diet, ever-present environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyle practices no wonder so many are overweight!
This incredibly healing golden spice has begun to weigh in on the subject (no pun intended), and studies show that Turmeric can be hugely helpful to anyone trying to lose weight.
Here’s how this incredible little root works its magic…
Turning “bad” fats into “good” fats. Researchers have known for some time that our bodies contain two kinds of fat: brown fat, which expends excess energy through heat generation (and doesn’t cause weight gain), and white fat, which is the notorious kind that leads to obesity through fat storage. [1]
It turns out that curcumin actually turns white fat into brown fat by enhancing the expression of brown fat genes. Welcome to the science of nutrigenomics, where the nutrients you consume can positively alter the ways that your genes express themselves.
We’ve come a long way since crunches and calorie restriction were your only options for weight loss.
Metabolism boosting. The metabolism—which can be thought of as the body’s “fat-burning furnace”—is often imbalanced and sluggish in those who are overweight or obese. This dysfunction makes weight loss even more difficult, as much more work is needed to burn the same quantity of fat.
Turmeric breaks this cycle by drastically increasing the activity of a metabolism-balancing protein called AMP-activated protein kinase, which increases the rate at which fat can be burned.
Fat cell destruction. Curcumin even causes apoptosis, or “programmed cell death,” in white fat cells, thus improving the ratio between brown fat and white fat. And the more brown fat you have, the more easily your body is able to burn more white fat through thermogenesis (which is induced by brown fat).
“Hacking” weight loss
For all of these reasons, consuming turmeric is a sort of biohack for weight loss. It not only breaks the cycle of sluggish metabolism, but also directly improves your body’s fat-burning abilities by increasing levels of brown fat.
So give turmeric a try—while optimizing your weight, you’ll also be boosting your immune system, improving cognitive function, and warding off over 600 different diseases.
But not all forms of turmeric are created equal…
Turmeric powder has a fairly low bioavailability (meaning that
a good portion of it isn’t properly absorbed by your body).
Because turmeric is hard to absorb, it must be formulated in a certain way allowing the body to absorb and utilize its entire spectrum of nutrients.
Otherwise it is useless…
