Endocrinologist with 23 years of experience - about a fact proven by science
Today I really want to tell you something kind and positive.
You must have noticed that, falling in love, many grow slimmer? There is a scientific explanation for this.
As I have written more than once, obesity is a very complex and multifactorial disease, which is based on inflammation. And the head controls everything - the center of regulation of energy processes is located in the brain, mainly in the hypothalamus.
One of the key players in the appetite suppression and satiety system is the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone a-MSH. It also increases energy consumption by activating the thyroid gland, sympathetic nervous system and brown adipose tissue (and it burns more fat than stores them). Who needs a link to a scientific work, then it is here.
It would seem, what does love have to do with it?
The hormone of happiness serotonin, actively developed in a person in a state of love, is significantly increases synthesis of a-MSH (appetite suppressant hormone) and decreases synthesis of appetite stimulating hormone - agouti-like peptide -AgRP.
However, you don't have to fall in love to be happy. Try to find joy in your daily life, and you will see how your extra pounds melt away.
