“FGF21 has a lot of positive effects on metabolism. [...] > Endurance training on a bicycle has such a marked effect on the metabolic hormone that we know ought to take a closer look at whether this regulation of FGF21 is directly related to the health-improving effects of cardio exercise.”

“Having overweight or obesity increases a person's risk of developing metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Findings from a 2017 review indicate that dietary fiber supplementation reduces body weight and improves metabolism in adults with overweight or obesity.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that reducing food intake lowered metabolic rate during sleep by 10% and reduced DNA damage, a biomarker for aging, by 20% in healthy adults. DNA damage accumulates with age and plays a role in cancer, stem cell dysfunction, and more.”

“A new study demonstrates that consuming low-calorie sweeteners in tandem with carbohydrate-rich foods alters brain function and impairs metabolism. The health effects of consuming low-calorie sweeteners are not well understood.”

“Researchers measured the participants' anthropometrics (weight, body mass index, waist/hip circumferences, and body fat ratio) and blood glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels at the beginning of the study and again at four-week intervals.”

“Although many older adults can successfully lose weight through diet and exercise, most eventually regain it, partly due to changes in metabolism and appetite that happen after weight loss.”

“The data was adjusted for other factors including aerobic exercise, smoking, alcohol intake, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal electrocardiographic findings.”

“A low-carb diet for 4 weeks reversed metabolic syndrome without weight loss in 50% of the study participants. The low-carb diet also decreased triglycerides and improved LDL cholesterol metabolism by decreasing small, dense LDL particles.”

“Time-restricted eating refers to eating all your meals during a 8-12 hour time window during the day when all metabolic processes are working their best in accordance with the circadian clock.”

“Poor sleep negatively affects metabolism, impairing glucose tolerance and increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Findings from a recent study indicate that HIIT compensates for the harmful effects of sleep loss on glucose tolerance.”
