The main secret of fast and effective weight loss has been revealed: here's what you need to have
Many people try to lose weight, but often face difficulties.
Research shows that success in this endeavor depends not only on diet and exercise, but also on genetics.
Scientists from the University of Birmingham have made an important discovery related to the genetic factor in the issue of weight loss, writes Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport .
To lose weight quickly, it is important to have 14 “slimness genes”.
The most significant of these is the PPARGC1A gene. It plays a key role in regulating metabolism.
During the experiment, people with the largest number of genetic markers of slimness managed to lose up to 5 kilograms, while those without them lost an average of 2 kilograms.
Scientists have found that the gene PPARGC1A is responsible for rapid weight loss.
It encodes the protein PGC-1-a, which helps regulate metabolism.
