Brown fat can help you lose weight. Eating apples and strawberries is effective

After entering middle age, many women can’t help but often look at their bulging bellies and sigh, “I can’t lose weight.” Why is it so easy to gain weight in middle age? It turns out that "brown fat" is causing the problem. According to a Japanese study, as people age, the amount of "brown fat" in their bodies decreases, making it more difficult to burn bad fat in the body, thus making the obesity problem more serious. Weight loss experts suggest that consuming more fruits rich in ursolic acid can help increase brown fat and achieve the effect of reducing body heat.

What is brown fat? There are two types of fat cells in the human body: brown fat and white fat. Brown fat is responsible for breaking down fat that causes obesity and converting white fat into carbon dioxide, water and calories. It can be said to be a "natural weight loss expert." Brown fat is abundant in infants but decreases with age, leaving most adults with only a few areas of brown fat, such as the upper back and neck.

As for white fat, it is stored throughout the body as energy backup to be consumed between meals; but when people start stuffing their stomachs with large amounts of toxins, processed foods and useless calories, the accumulation of white fat exceeds the load and becomes a burden.

According to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the activity of brown adipose tissue varies at different temperatures, and at low temperatures, brown adipose tissue is particularly activated. That is, as exercise and exposure to cold air increase, so too does brown fat storage.

Tip 1 for increasing brown fat: Take a cold shower

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that the degree of activation of brown fat tissue in subjects kept at 16 to 19 degrees Celsius was significantly higher than that in subjects kept at normal temperature. Therefore, if you want to enhance brown fat metabolism and burn excess calories, you should use less heating and it is recommended to take cold showers to enhance brown fat metabolism. However, the most effective way is to exercise in cold weather. Exercise combined with low temperature will simultaneously activate brown fat cells and decompose white fat.

The second way to increase brown fat: supplement with arbutin foods

In addition, according to a study by the University of Iowa research team, the ursolic acid rich in apple peel can increase muscle and brown fat mass, allowing the body to burn calories and fight obesity. Arbutin is an ingredient extracted from the leaves of the Ericaceae plant bearberry. It is also found in plants such as pears and wheat. Arbutin is also a well-known whitening ingredient.

Natural arbutin is mostly found in some berry plants, such as the well-known blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, etc. It can also be found in cranberries, plums, pears, basil, thyme, pepper leaves and thyme.

The key to weight loss is regular exercise and reducing calories

Although the amount of brown adipose tissue is beneficial for weight loss, if you want to lose weight successfully, the most important thing is to rely on regular exercise and reduce calorie intake. Only by taking multiple measures can you achieve long-term results of healthy weight loss.
