By Dr. Stefano Casali The total daily energy expenditure is given by the sum of: Basal metabolism (60-70%) Thermogenesis induced by physical activity (20-30%) Dietal-induced thermogenesis (10%) Basal metabolism It represents the energy expenditure at complete physical and psycho-sensorial rest: Relaxed patient Awake about half an hour after a restful sleep of at least 8 hours In thermoneutral state (22 ° -26 °) 12-14 hours after taking the last meal Soft lighting and absence of auditory stimuli Physical activity-induced thermogenesis It represents the energy expenditure required to perform any

What is that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein molecule produced by various types of cells, in particular by immunocompetent ones - such as T lymphocytes and macrophages - in response to traumas or tissue damage. Other cell types can synthesize and secrete interleukin-6; this is the case, for example, of mature white adipocytes, "fathers" of about 1/3 of the circulating IL-6

By Dr. Di Meo Vincenzo What is insulin? Insulin is a hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells and has the important function of regulating glucose metabolism in almost all tissues of the human body. Therefore, understanding how and why the secretion of this hormone is linked to weight loss processes is of fundamental importance, both to optimize our diet and the precious time spent training

In fact, although many people resort to purgatives to lose weight quickly, this is a real affront to human health and intelligence. The use of laxatives for weight loss is linked to their ability to promote the loss of body fluids; since water represents about 65% of body weight, the dehydration induced by purgatives moves the needle of the scale in the much sought after direction

What is leptin? Leptin (from the Greek root leptos meaning lean) is a small protein-like hormone, discovered in 1994 by Friedman. It is encoded by the obesity gene (OB), has a molecular weight of 16 KDa and is strongly involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy consumption. Produced mainly at the level of white adipose tissue, leptin is transported to the target organs by the blood stream

By Dr. Antonio Parolisi Considerations on the state of body hydration and on the estimation of the daily caloric requirement through the use of plicometry. A very versatile field evaluation used by the vast majority of sports technicians or health professionals is plicometry. On the one hand the very low costs of this method and on the other the speed of application by calculation for equations on the estimate of body fat, have decreed success and spread

By Dr. Antonio Parolisi Taking a fairly rough and purely didactic reasoning, let us first consider the previous example. The subject with a 17% body fat on 100kg of total weight will have: 100kg-17% = 83 kg of lean mass. Making calculations on this parameter we would "estimate" a basic BMR metabolism of 83x24 (24 hours of the day) about 2000 kcal

By Dr. Fabio Schirru Of course the title of my article is provocative ... I decided to write this article because I feel more and more often, people who turn to me for food advice, for a real diet or even just chatting with friends, they make me now mythical question ...

Unfortunately, the information that comes to us, especially from gyms and the media, is exceedingly misleading; however, if we only wanted to apply a bit of sound science to all this, we would be perfectly able to disprove many of these popular sayings
