A correct diet is the basis of the good health of every
individual, as most of the organism's disorders are of a metabolic nature.
By consuming healthy, natural foods, free of synthetic dyes
or preservatives, preferably unrefined, the body and mind reap significant
benefits that translate into a generalized state of psycho-physical well-being.
One of the main prerequisites for well-being is not to
accumulate extra pounds, so as not to tire the body in carrying out its
functions.
Metabolic principles to maintain a normal weight
Each individual is characterized by an ideal body weight
value which is defined as "normal weight"; this index depends on the
set of metabolic reactions.
When synthesis processes occur we speak of
"anabolism" which consists in the production of molecules (for
example during protein synthesis); when there are processes of molecular
destruction we speak of "catabolism" (for example during the
splitting of numerous compounds).
Through the diet , calories are introduced, of whicha part
is used for the correct development of metabolic processes, a part is
transformed into thermal energy and a part is accumulated.
When this accumulation exceeds the physiological threshold,
body weight gain is usually created .
To avoid this inconvenience, various strategies can be
implemented including low-calorie diets accompanied by sports activities; to
facilitate the return to normal weight, slimming supplements can be used ,
whose activity is aimed at controlling metabolic processes.
How slimming food supplements work
These are substances mostly of natural origin that have
different mechanisms of action, namely:
- they act on the intestinal transit time of food by
reducing the absorption of nutrients;
- stimulate thermogenesis;
- they favor some catabolic processes such as the oxidation
of fatty acids;
- increase diuresis by enhancing the elimination of liquids;
- decrease the stimulus of hunger;
- speed up the metabolism.
What is piperine
The piperine is an alkaloid contained in black pepper which
confers the characteristic pungent flavor; it is a compound widely used thanks
to its phytotherapeutic properties exploited in the production of thermogenic
slimming supplements. These substances, commonly referred to as "fat
burners", have a marked lipolytic activity, dissolving the adipose
panniculus usually located in certain areas of the body (buttocks, hips, inner
thighs, back and belly).
The piperine also facilitates the digestive function by
stimulating thesecretion of saliva and gastric juice, and decreasing the
absorption of substances in the intestine; this action acts synergistically
with the thermogenic one, increasing the slimming effectiveness of the active
ingredient.
If the digestive process is not efficient, food stagnation
phenomena usually occur with the production of intestinal gas (meteorism) and
water retention (edema); in both cases there will be an accumulation of
adipocytes.
What is turmeric
The turmeric is a South Asian original plant, which uses the
root contains the active substance called curcumin, which has a flavor and a
particularly intense aroma, very similar to that of saffron. Its numerous
properties allow it to be used in many phytotherapeutic preparations,
especially thanks to its antioxidant action against free radicals. Furthermore,
turmeric stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, thus promoting digestive
processes and ensuring effective hepatoprotective activity. Curcumin's
mechanism of action is related to its ownstimulating activity on the
adipocytes, which are stimulated to produce adinopectin, a molecule that burns
the lipid cells eliminating the adipose panniculi. It also enhances the
synthesis of leptin, a hormone that controls the hunger center, ensuring a
greater feeling of satiety. Turmeric then helps to normalize the blood glycemic
index avoiding an overproduction of insulin which could lead to an increase in
the lipogenesis process with consequent neo-formation of adipose accumulations.
Piperine and Curcuma, a winning synergy
The supplements based on piperine and turmeric are
particularly effective as they exploit their synergistic action to obtain a
thermogenic effect of the highest level.
In fact, the mechanisms of action listed above allow
tangible results to be obtained already after a few weeks of intake, creating
an ideal mix to lose weight in an absolutely natural way.
