Two ways to lose weight and reduce inflammation

Abdominal fat actually produces inflammatory molecules, and high inflammation levels in your body can trigger a wide range of systemic diseases linked with metabolic syndrome.

Exercise can have a pronounced effect on your hormone production, naturally raising sex hormones and HGH, for example, which can have a more or less direct bearing on weight management.

For weight loss, opt for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) rather than conventional cardio. Studies clearly show that exercising in short bursts with rest periods in between burns the most fat.

Key dietary corrections needed to optimize fat loss include swapping processed foods for whole foods, and replacing carbs with healthful fats.
