Today we’re going to talk about how your own fat could actually keep you inflamed. The fat cell is not only storage for triglycerides, but it also makes hormones. For example, it makes leptin, which decreases your appetite.

A few more interesting things about the fat cell:
• It’s involved in immunity (it makes stem cells)
• It’s involved in appetite
• It’s involved with blood pressure
• It’s involved with insulin regulation
• It’s involved with TNF alpha (cytokine)

TNF alpha (cytokine) is a signaling molecule that triggers inflammation. Your fat cells, specifically your visceral fat, trigger TNF alpha, which keeps the body inflamed. That inflammation then causes insulin resistance, which causes more fat and starts the cycle over again.

What you could do:
1. Keep your carbs below 20g per day
2. Do intermittent fasting
3. Take vitamin D (about 30,000 IUs)
4. Take choline
5. Take bile salts
6. Exercise (45 minutes per day)
