Magnesium, Fatigue & Fat Loss: Fat Loss IMPOSSIBLE Without Magnesium

Your body makes the hormone insulin when it detects a rise in the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood stream. Insulin is a hormone which lets your cells absorb glucose and fatty acids from your blood stream so they can be converted into energy.

But before we learn how glucose and fatty acids are turned into actual energy inside your cells, in today’s post we’ll look at two more powerful hormones which stimulate a very attractive situation for most people: burning your own body fat.

Today we look at how your body needs magnesium in order to liberate your body’s fat stores so they can be burned as energy.  

You can also get access to the world’s purest natural magnesium for metabolic support here.

Your Fat Cells

Your body makes insulin to help your cells absorb newly digested glucose and fatty acids that have recently entered your blood stream. But what happens when your body goes for a long time without consuming nutrients, resulting in a drop of  your blood glucose?

Your body begins making several other hormones which compensate for this lack of fuel sources by making your body fat available to for energy, during a lack of dietary glucose and fat:

As it turns out, your body can also burn its own fat for energy. However, fat in your body is stored in fat cells, which for the most part are not capable of burning their own fatty acid content for fuel. Furthermore, it’s your muscles and organs (like your brain and heart) that need the fatty acids’ energy anyways – your fat cells themselves don’t actually serve any vital functions to keep you alive other than storing fat for times of need, so there is no need for them to burn their own fatty acids.

So as your blood glucose begins to drop, your body begins to produce two hormones which stimulate you fat cells to release some of their fatty acids into the blood stream so they can eventually enter the body parts that need them for energy. What are these hormones?

Your Fat- Burning Hormones

There are a variety of different hormones that can help the body with energy balance. Two of the most powerful hormones that help your fat cells release their fatty acids into your blood stream are glucagon and growth hormone:

1. Glucagon:

Your pancreas makes the hormone glucagon which helps your liver release more glucose into your blood, and also makes your fat cells release fatty acids into your blood stream. Glucagon is basically the primary hormone your body uses to restore healthy levels of fuel sources to your cells when they are low.

2. Growth Hormone:

Human growth hormone is the second powerful hormone, secreted by your pituitary gland. This powerful hormone not only releases fatty acids from your fat stores, but it also has other effects including preserving lean muscle mass during times of fasting and low energy. Overall, this hormone is known to have beneficial effects on your body composition – namely your body fat % to muscle mass ratio.

Magnesium Burns Body Fat

This process of liberating fat from your fat stores (so it can travel to your muscles and organs to be used for energy) is called lipolysis.

So why do we need magnesium for lipolysis?

Because the two main hormones that trigger this fat release, are made by the biological process called protein synthesis… we already learned in the last post that protein synthesis is a magnesium-dependent process! 

This just shows you how critical magnesium truly is to your body’s energy production. Not only do you need it for the production and function of insulin to help your cells absorb fuel sources… 

You also need it for your two most powerful fat-releasing and fat-burning hormones: Glucagon and Insulin.

Conclusion:

Magnesium is required to make insulin, glucagon and growth hormone: the hormones that let your body burn its own body fat, and absorb fuel sources to make energy to support your life. Low magnesium means low energy, and poor fat-burning capacity. There is no way around this.

We’ll see you in next week’s post where we look at how magnesium is needed to process glucose and fat into usable forms of fuel once your cells have absorbed them. (This is where we really start to get into your daily energy levels and avoiding problems like diabetes.)
