Many women wish to grill that annoying fat and become sexy and slender. Are you aware that your hormones also play an important role in your weight loss process? Losing weight is not only limited to healthy eating. You will also need to keep your hormones in check for it. Hence, shedding those excess kilos can give you a tough time. Hormones can manage critical reactions and functions like metabolism, inflammation, menopause and so on. Causes of a disrupted hormonal balance are stress, age, and poor lifestyle which can lead to a sluggish metabolism, uncontrollable hunger and thus, you will tend to pile up those excess kilos. You will be prone to obesity-related diseases due to a chronic hormonal imbalance. We are not kidding! Here are few hormones which can make you fat. Women, don't forget to read this!.
Leptin can cause weight gain.
When you are full, the hormone leptin signals it and this means that you shouldn't go overboard. But, overindulging in sugar-laden foods like sweets, candies, chocolates, fruits containing fructose, processed foods, and so on, can lead to weight gain. The fructose which is present in large amount can convert fat that gets deposited in the liver, belly and so on, in the body. Thus, fat cells secrete leptin. More leptin is secreted if you tend to eat food which is high in fructose. Furthermore, it can desensitize your body to leptin and no signal will be given to your brain to stop you from overeating. The drawback- you will pile up those excess kilos.
Ghrelin can cause weight gain.
Ghrelin, which is also known as the hunger hormone, can help you to stimulate your appetite and increase that fat deposition. Your stomach will only secrete it. Your small intestine, brain, and pancreas, may also secrete some amount of ghrelin. Obese people can be more sensitive to it. You will be shocked to know that a higher amount of ghrelin can cause weight gain! When one is fasting or is on a diet than his/ her ghrelin levels can rise.
Testosterone
Lower levels of testosterone are created by women as well. That testosterone can help you to grill your fat, enhance your libido, bones and muscles. Women, your ovary may produce testosterone. A woman's testosterone level will be lowered due to stress and ageing. Loss of bone density and muscle mass and obesity is linked to lower testosterone. Moreover, it can also lead to depression. Hence, the increased stress and inflammation can cause more fat deposition. Women, this will make you put on weight..
Mexican student develops bra fitted with mobile app to detect breast cancer
Mexico City: A device made of a brassiere cup fitted with a mobile application, developed by a Mexican student, is designed to be an ally of mammograms for the timely detection of breast cancer in women with very dense breast tissue and in those under age 40.
“The idea started after my mother had to deal twice with that illness. She had her breasts removed and almost lost her life because of a bad diagnosis,” Julian Rios, inventor of Eva, the first personal, non-invasive method of evaluating the risk of breast cancer, told international news web portal.Eva is cup that goes inside a bra and with a mobile app begins its exploration. In just five minutes it can determine whether or not a woman is at risk of breast cancer.
The device functions through an analysis of thermal patterns in the mammary gland and focuses on women with very dense breast tissue, as well as on women under ages 35-40.The idea was to find a procedure more certain than self-exploration and less dangerous than mammograms, “since the device generates nothing in the way of heat or radiation, nor is it painful since it doesn’t squeeze the breast”, Rios said.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the radiation and squeezing involved in this kind of treatment can cause the metastasis of carcinogenic cells to other parts of the body.
Mexican student fits bra with mobile application to detect breast cancer:
Eva has at least 200 small biosensors capable of mapping the surface of the breast and determining, for example, the thermal conductivity by areas.
More heat in a certain area signifies a greater blood flow, which means that something is feeding those blood vessels, which would normally be a cancer.

At the moment, he said, the project had an investment of $5 million contributed by various US and European foundations and by individuals like actors Ashton Kutcher and Leonardo Di Caprio as well as writer Jessica Livingston.
Rios added that while Eva was not yet available on the market, in Mexico he was currently doing tests with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and with the Salud Digna association. The idea was that in 2019 clinical trials will be carried out at a number of medical centres around the country.
