Smoking contributes to accelerated fat burning
Smoking contributes to accelerated fat burning
The fact that smokers often gain weight after the rejection of his habit, has long been known, but doctors have only recently understood the mechanisms of this anomaly. Until now it was thought that the body quit rates are slowing down the metabolism and utilization of fats and carbohydrates, but researchers from Cornell University in New York failed to prove that it is in another.
Researchers found that cigarette smokers in organisms activate the chemical processes that increase the activity of a gene that promotes breakdown of fat. At Cornell University say that several hundred people surveyed half were smokers, and half not. In each case, the smoker’s body observed increased activity of the gene AZGP1.
Previously, doctors discovered that the same gene is partially responsible for the respiratory system. Now it became obvious that he also partly controls the process of utilization of fats and so-called fast carbohydrates in humans.
In the end, not smoking, a person reduces the activity of “fat burning gene and metabolic balance in the body begins to change in favor of fat, which leads to a set of fat mass. In addition, physicians recognize that people who quit smoking, start eating more, which gives an even greater burden on the remaining fat burning subsystems that are simply unable to dispose of all the incoming oil.
American medical experts say that their study does not say that all who wish to lose weight, you must immediately grab a cigarette, having long known the hazards of smoking no one has yet refuted. Instead, the researchers say that it is appropriate to do studies of gene AZGP1, because it is one of those genes that directly influence fat balance in the body.
All those wishing to lose weight doctors advise an old and tested method – physical exercise, jogging and balanced diet. Those who believed that this option is not for them can only wait for the appearance of gene products that can activate a given gene is harmless.
