Brown Fat????

It would appear everyone is aware that too much fat makes you fat right/ Researchers have now discovered that to much "brown fat" is good for weight loss, found in babies specialists say it helps keep babies warm after birth but was believed to disappear when growing up.

The job of brown fat is to generate heat and warm the body in time of cold. It does this by boosting your metabolism and start using up that nasty white fat which sits on our stomachs and butt.

Research at the University of Goteborg in Sweden has show this health brown fat is still present in adults,

Doctors at the University believe that the reason some of us have naturally less body fat than others my be a result in a lager amount of brown fat store on the body.

Continued research is being carried out on this and may even help lead to weight loss drugs in the future. However I feel that combining a healthy eating program and good exercise will always triumph over any weight loss drugs invented. It was shown in the studies that taking body temperature down could help you burn as much as 400-500 more calories per day.

If you want to try some cold fat burning theories then her are a couple I would recommend and a couple that make me laugh.

1. Drink 1-1.5 Litres of ice-cold water per day to promote this type of thremogenesis

2. Take a cold shower or plunge pool bath for 5mins with 1min intervals in and out

3. Sit with your feet in cold water for 10minutes.

4. Turn off your central heating in the house or exercise outside in your vest and pants These last to make me laugh especially..
