AMPK Metabolic Activator

Research non the effects of AMPK
New research is showing that a tiny enzyme within our cells promotes big results when activated in weight loss, optimal health and longevity success. This enzyme, AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase) is found inside every cell in the body and serves as your body’s “master regulating switch” – our master metabolic molecule that influences how cells process energy. When our cells lose energy, the cell degrades and so does our health. AMPK determines body fat composition, optimal health and how long you’ll live. When AMPK is activated, cells do not make or store fat, burning-up only stored fat. Our cells are less toxic, healthier and live longer when AMPK gets re-activated. 

Why We Need AMPK To Make Us Leaner and Healthier
AMPK is crucial to our health by promoting insulin sensitivity – perhaps the greatest marker for optimal health. This enzyme also increases the production of our mitochondria – little organs in every cell that turn oxygen and food into energy. Our mitochondria are one of, if not the most important component of your cells. They supply over 90 percent of your body’s energy needs by converting the food you eat and the air you breathe into usable energy.

Signs of AMPK Deficiency

• Difficulty Losing Weight
• Increased Belly Fat
• Elevated Blood Glucose
• Insulin Resistance
• High Total Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels
• Decrease in Mitochondrial Function

How To Activate AMPK
When you begin to activate AMPK to healthful levels, inflammatory belly fat diminishes, due to increased fat burning that is being utilized for energy as opposed to being stored as fat only – promoting even further inflammation within the fat cell. Certain dietary strategies and food components greatly influence AMPK activity.

Natural Nutrients That Activate AMPK.
Resveratrol – This antioxidant activates Sirt1 but AMPK activates it more directly. Alpha Lipoic Acid – can activate AMPK in tissues, particularly muscle tissue. Additionally, this beneficial nutrient can also help reduce food intake through the suppression of AMPK in the hypothalamus. EGCG plant phytochemical from green tea. Curcumin the active component in the spice turmeric. Fish Oil – the EPA and DHA in fish oil activates AMPK. Quercetin – found in many plants including fruits, vegetables and grains, increases AMPK in fat, muscle and liver.

Calorie Restriction (CR) and LCHF Diet
Dietary restriction such as fasting of any type (inluding a low carb high fat diet - LCHF), can effectively increase AMPK, improve cardiac risk factors, protect against cancer, improve insulin sensitivity and longevity.

Exercise.
AMPK is stimulated by muscle contraction. Most notably and well researched, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is powerfully effective in activating AMPK. This is simply 8 brief bouts of, for example, 30 second all out intervals with 90 second slow down to a moderate pace. There are many varieties of HIIT and all are short and excellent for promoting weight loss and optimzed health.

The Medical Drug Metformin.
Metformin is a drug widely used to treat those with type 2 diabetes and has a powerful effect on activating AMPK and increasing insulin sensitivity. Alternatively, the natural supplement Berberine works as effectively as Metformin in activating AMPK. Eating a healthful diet and exercising the right way, will help to promote weight loss, optimal health and longevity.
