*Exercise: A key factor for positive long-term health outcomes is to get moving and keep moving. A lack of physical activity increases the likelihood of leptin resistance as cortisol levels rise. Exercise helps to mitigate the effects cortisol has on the body and decrease resistance to leptin. This is why over time appetites decrease with routine moderate physical activity.
*[[Irvingia]] has been highlighted on various television and radio programs around the world as a weight loss aid. Its extract is derived from [[African MangoeMango]]s es and has been demonstrated to influence enzyme production while lowering inflammation which allows for weight loss if taken in high enough doses. For sure Irvingia is no magic bullet but should be used as an adjunct to a healthy lifestyle that promotes weight loss and increases leptin sensitivity.
*[[Zinc]] is a key mineral that not only bolsters our immune system but also assists leptin to perform at optimal levels so be sure to supplement as necessary.
*Avoiding inflammatory foods is important because the inflammation interferes with how leptin functions in the body. C-reactive protein is a byproduct of inflammation causing foods and sets the stage for leptin resistance.
