La melatonina aumenta la producción de grasa buena y ayuda a adelgazar

Científicos españoles han descubierto que el consumo de melatonina ayuda a regular el aumento de peso porque estimula la aparición de “grasa beige”, un tipo de células grasas que quema las calorías en lugar de almacenarlas. Esta sustancia está presente de forma natural en nuestro cuerpo pero también podemos obtenerla a través del consumo de alimentos como la mostaza, las almendras o las cerezas. 

El grupo de investigadores, liderado por la Universidad de Granada (España), ha desvelado por primera vez las causas del beneficio metabólico atribuido a esta sustancia inherente a nuestro organismo. La melatonina es una hormona natural que segrega el cuerpo humano y que alcanza sus niveles más altos durante la noche (ante la falta de luz). Cumple una función de inducción al sueño fundamental para nuestro reloj biológico.

Perder peso o grasa

A través de la experimentación con ratas obesas diabéticas, los científicos detectaron que el consumo crónico de melatonina induce la aparición de “grasa beige”, un tipo de grasa que, a diferencia del tejido adiposo blanco, no almacena calorías y ayuda a regular el peso corporal. Los niveles de esta “grasa buena” no sólo se vieron incrementados en las ratas obesas, sino también en los animales delgados que se usaron como grupo control.

La melatonina se encuentra en pequeñas cantidades en algunas frutas y verduras como la mostaza, las Bayas del Goji, las almendras y pipas de girasol, el cardamomo, el hinojo, el cilantro y las cerezas. Dormir a oscuras y consumir todos estos alimentos podría ayudar a controlar el peso y a prevenir las enfermedades cardiovasculares asociadas a la obesidad y la diabetes.

  1. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said «You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.» She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.

I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!

  3. Very good blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

  4. When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
