Metabolic health is positive energy in action and could well be the answer to a full body power up.
The past decade has seen a huge focus on gut health and rightly so, because the trillions of organisms that make up this microscopic universe are cause and cure for our overall health.
But science is ever-evolving and the collective gaze of wellness is lasering in on metabolic health and how to get it functioning optimally. Now the next big focus is on the body’s power source - the metabolism.
The impact of metabolism on our long-term health has been woefully underplayed, because just like the gut, metabolic activity is enmeshed in a host of vital biological processes. When firing on all cylinders, our metabolism regulates entire body processes – from energy production to fat burning, to inflammation and aging but modern life has crazy paved the way for an outbreak of metabolic dysfunction.
What causes metabolic dysfunction?
It's not you, it’s your lifestyle. What human cells need to keep functioning, repairing and regenerating is vastly at odds with what modern life provides them.
Eating ultra-processed foods, sleeping out of sync, holding onto stress, and inhaling polluted air, along with the daily onslaught of toxins - our cells are in a toxic relationship with the environment we provide them.
Then there’s the bum deal. In the Western world, scientists estimate that we’re sitting for 80% of our day - at desks all day, on sofas all evening. Cells don’t like sedentary, they go for active types you see.
When the cells don’t receive what they need to do their jobs properly, they become damaged and signal into the immune system, which results in large scale inflammation.
Mission improve your metabolic health
So metabolically speaking, how do you go about becoming all powerful? Many positive lifestyle interventions support a strong metabolism; the headliners being deep, restorative sleep, regular exercise, a healthy diet and targeting chronic inflammation. But now scientists have identified a particularly interesting energy-sensing enzyme called AMP-kinase (AMPK), that is the metabolic master switch for the entire body.
Typically stimulated by physical activity and fasting, the AMPK enzyme increases the production of cellular energy and metabolic activity across the biological motherboard. It’s the enzyme responsible for breaking down compounds and unblocking pathways along cellular networks, thereby enabling more effective conversion of energy.
Essential for fat burning and longevity, powering up AMPK has a similar effect on the body to fasting and exercising. What’s more, AMPK also optimizes glucose uptake, which means that muscles better convert glucose to energy for more endurance, more power and less fatigue – just like a vigorous workout.
Where does this metabolic power player AMPK come from?
There is no bulk buying of AMPK, you have to stimulate your body’s natural synthesis of it and clinical studies suggest the way to do that is with patented adaptogenic herb compound ActivAMP®. Extracted from Gynostemma pentaphyllum, ActivAMP® upregulates alarmins, including the sestrins and the production of these sestrins activates AMPK.
The first of a new class of natural compounds called 'exercise mimetics' ActivAMP® imitates the body’s response to exercise and fasting. Hence why this powerful adaptogen, said to fire up the metabolism, has legitimately earned its place as LYMA’s eleventh ingredient.
Every ingredient in the LYMA Supplement formula, including ActivAMP®, is patented and peer-reviewed meaning it is tested for bioavailability, stability and efficacy in published and reviewed medical journals – this is the gold standard.
A clinical dose of 450mg of ActivAMP® is now formulated into LYMA’s four daily capsules, inspiring your entire system to operate more dynamically.
As we progress in this era of longevity, preventative wellness and improving our long-term healthspans, we need to address the central hubs of our health. Metabolic function is the power source behind our cells, so why not take the initiative to turn your metabolism into a superpower?
