AMPK and Belly Fat

By May 31, 2022 Blog

Activated AMPK triggers beneficial effects such as a reduction in fat deposition. The marked decline in AMPK that occurs with aging results in increased fat (abdominal fat), destructive metabolic consequences such as Insulin resistance and hypertension.

What AMPK does:

  • Regulates energy metabolism
  • Increases fat-burning
  • Increases the utilization of glucose while blocking fat and cholesterol synthesis

AMPK improves glucose uptake so it lowers your blood sugar, increases the burning of stored fat, and decreases your blood triglycerides. It decreases fat-related chronic inflammation, which means that it is targeting the inflammatory fat or the abdominal fat specifically. Abdominal fat has more inflammatory potential than fats in other parts of the body.

2 Factors That Decrease AMPK Activation

  • Age
  • Chronic overeating

How to Boost AMPK Activation
There are pharmaceutical, botanical and lifestyle things that you can do to boost AMPK activation.

Metformin
Metformin is commonly prescribed to Type II diabetes patients. It turns out that metformin activates AMPK. 

It may be beneficial for you to stay on this medication if your doctor prescribed this to you. Although, like all pharmaceuticals, it has potential side effects that you should educate yourself about.

Intermittent Fasting
Fasting can also activate AMPK. Fasting, not eating, activates longevity factors. When you fast, you’re improving the quality of the function of mitochondria. 

HIIT (high intensity interval training)- some studies showed that four 30 second bouts of all out cycling increased AMPK immediately following exercise
