Eat or Not to Eat, Its a game of hormones

The problem of obesity, anorexia, being fat and being too lean all relate to balance of hormones in the body.

Ghrelin is a key player
Who sends the signal to the brain "Eat"

Leptin is 2nd key player
Who sends the signal to the brain " Stop Eating"

Obesity is the result of abnormal function of leptin in the body.
And we cannot control our hunger !!!

Leptin therapy is widely used to treat obesity.
