THYROID & METABOLISM YOGA LIVE Your THYROID is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, just above your collarbone. It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. The THYROID helps set your METABOLISM – how your body gets energy from the foods you eat. THYROID hormones regulate how the body breaks down food and either uses that energy immediately or stores it for the future. In other words, our thyroid hormones regulate our body’s METABOLISM. Millions of people have THYROID diseases. Most of them are women. If you have a thyroid disease, your body uses energy more slowly or quickly than it should. A THYROID gland that is not active enough, called hypothyroidism, is far more common. It can make you gain weight, feel fatigued and have difficulty dealing with cold temperatures. If your THYROID is too active, it makes more thyroid hormones than your body needs. That condition is hyperthyroidism. Too much thyroid hormone can make you lose weight, speed up your heart rate and make you very sensitive to heat. There are many causes for both conditions. Treatment involves trying to reset your body’s METABOLISM to a normal rate. Music by Kelvin MacLeod incompetech.com

No, if you eat less, your body will adjust and then the next time you eat the slightest bit of more food, like an extra snack, you gain more weight than you usually would.

www.undergroundwellness.com In a study published in 1996 in the Journal of Lipid Research, animals fed a diet consisting of at least 50 percent MCFAs had significant weight loss. In contrast, a group fed the same diet with the same number of calories, but consisting of 50-percent long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs found in other foods), lost no weight whatsoever. Other studies confirm that MCFAs are oxidized (burned up and used for energy) instead of being stored in the fatty tissue of the body, as are the LCFAs. As a result, you generate more heat to burn calories, kick-starting the body into burning up existing fat stores. Studies with human confirm animal research * A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1991 found that humans consuming a meal containing 30 grams (2 tablespoons) MCFAs and 8 grams (about 1.5 tablespoons) LCFAs had a significant rise in temperature compared to those who at the same meal containing 38 grams LCFA.
