Ways To Increase Brown Fat In The Body

For a long time, researchers have known that most humans have excessive white fat that is responsible for increasing our risk for diabetes, heart disease and other related health issues. But now, research proves the we can increase our brown fat levels, which helps to burn calories and reduce white fat from the body. Below are some ways of increasing brown fat in your body.

Eat an apple a day: Not only does an apple keep the doctor away but fat too. According to research, apple peels that contain ursolic acid helps boost brown fat in mice.

Do not undereat or overeat: We stop eating when neurons that regulate our hunger in the brain inform us that we've had enough. Now, these neurons perform another duty too--when we eat enough, white fat turns to brown, and when we under-eat, white fat is prevented from turning brown. On the flip side, overeating increases white fat production and interferes with the ability of brown fat to burn calories.

Exercise: This is still the best way of burning fat because exercise sets off the release of the enzyme irisin that causes white fat cells to convert to brown. Among men it leads to browning of fat.
