Exercise increase the hormone irisin is a critical regulator of cognitive function?

Exciting new research has demonstrated the existence of a hormone that appears to increase during exercise. and does amazing things for our health and metabolism.

This muscle hormone, called the "exercise hormone." was discovered by researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Because it is a chemical messenger, it to named Irisin after the messenger goddess. Although its existence has to debate in recent years. Harvard scientists who studied Irisin recently announced that "the data presented prove that human Irisin exists."

Irisin presents as part of a larger protein in the outer membrane of a muscle cell. lies dormant and inactive until released. Exercise and other factors help break down this protein, releasing irisin.

So now we know that Irisin exists and we also know that when we exercise our body makes more of it.

Why is this important? 

What does this hormone do once we get our blood pumping and our heart rate up?

The powerful hormone Irisin appears to have a unique ability to convert white fat into brown fat. White fat stores energy "calories". while brown fat is better for us because it is more involved in burning energy "increasing our metabolism" than storing it.

 Brown fat fascinates scientists because it resembles muscle more than fat. and plays a major role in maintaining a normal weight. It also feels and behaves more like muscle than fat, which explains its ability to burn fat so.

Younger people have more brown fat than seniors. and people with normal blood sugar enjoy more brown fat than people with high blood sugar.

Obesity, a fat storage disorder, is a real problem in today's world.  Increased levels of irisin help to improve glucose tolerance and reduce insulin resistance. suggesting that this could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes.

But the benefits of this exciting new "workout" hormone don't stop there. Irisin offers other valuable benefits. such as triggering the growth of new brain neurons. and activating genes involved in memory retention and learning. It also acts on the bone. supporting its formation by increasing the density of bone minerals. which in turn helps with osteoporosis.

All these things are valuable and contribute to our health. 

it affects our telomeres. High levels of Irisin appear to link to lengthening our telomeres! The longer the telomeres the shortening of telomeres is a genetic sign of aging. the younger and healthier our body is! 

age-related diseases and illnesses such as cancer. dementia, and heart disease.

With so much controversy surrounding the discovery of Irisin. it will be a while before the entire scientific community comes around to figuring it out. how to harness the power of this unique hormone. But that doesn't mean we have to put our health on hold until then.

If we want to enjoy the benefits of Irisin - to feel more fabulous and younger than we are now. we need to allow this hormone to take effect now.

Since we already know that exercise increases the amount of Irisin in our body. exercise is the perfect place to start. It is without a doubt the best way to increase our irisin levels. But, not all exercises to created equal.

a recent scientific discovery published in 2014 found that high-intensity exercise increases irisin levels better than low-intensity exercise. meaning it must prompt the body to trigger its release.

The researchers also found that rats that swam daily but to fed a high-fat diet still lost weight. and they suspect this is due to Irisin. Another factor is low temperatures. The shivering we do when exposed to cold temperatures seems to increase Irisin. even rivaling the results of those who exercise.

Irisin is a health-enhancing, fat-burning and. sensitizing hormone that provides us with many health benefits. It can reduce body weight. 

It's time to clean the house, hit the gym, and enjoy some healthy fats. It will benefit our health, weight, and longevity.
