When I was small I have this nickname (some of my cousins still calling me until now) which means fat. One of my cousins named me this with respect to my weight. Yes! I was fat and chunky; cute as what they describe it. But to think of the present, I am the mere opposite of the past. I am just ranging from 95 to 99lbs. I even struggle to maintain 101lbs for a week or two. I am so desperate to gain weight or just even to be normal for my height. I was never normal. So it’s an affirmative! I’m always abnormal. (To think I behave like I really am).
One evening, I was bored and started reading magazines I have in my room. (It was not really reading but purely scanning). I came across the topic about eating, specifically on appetite. The article is talking about a diet hormone which is called LETIN. Letin is responsible and influences our eating behavior, and to the amino acid protein galanin, which stimulates the desire to eat. (I hope I don’t sound like I’m talking in Latin).
What now? A diet which is high in calorie and high in fat may trigger chemical changes that make the body less resistant to hormone leptin. More explanations? Calorie-rich and fat-rich food such as fast food, donuts and curls or those stuff we consider “junks” make us crave to eat more and are surely addicting. This means our brain loses its ability to respond to these hormones as body fat increases. Take these kids as an example. Looks like these kids doesn’t have any hormone letin at all. I don’t want to name stores or whatsoever but fast food as a word well really obvious what are those. Now I know what makes an obese REALLY OBESE. Think of the fatty molecules stuck in your blood vessels. Supposed a free flowing blood is now moving viciously causing high blood pressure and worst, coronary heart diseases such as Myocardial Infarction.
Solution? Burn your thick fats! Exercise! Eat balance diet! Lower your cholesterol! Live a healthy life!
As to myself, letin is really working. Maybe I need a little fat to signal my brain to increase my appetite; a daily visit to fast food especially to the big M (which is kind of expensive I think) will make me fat; or steroid use? (Which I never thought of using); or an inspiration (if you know what I am talking about); or/and sometimes I think still, THIN IS IN!
