Fat in the human body is divided into three types, ‘white fat’, ‘brown fat’, and ‘beige fat’, depending on color and composition ratio. What we commonly refer to as fat is white fat. Glucose and fatty acids consumed through food are used as an energy source in the body, and if leftover, they are converted into white fat and accumulated in cells. White fat serves as a source of energy for the body in emergency situations and plays a beneficial role in protecting the body when there is physical shock, but if it is excessive, it causes obesity and diabetes. Brown fat, which is found only near the spine, upper chest, and collarbone, performs a ‘good’ function of preventing obesity by burning white fat for energy. This means it helps with dieting. It also maintains body temperature by burning energy and producing heat. Beige fat is mixed with white fat, and normally functions like white fat, but under certain circumstances, it functions like brown fat.
It is known that only some adults have brown fat, which is beneficial to health and helps with diet, while others do not have it. According to a study published in the American medical journal ‘Diabetes’, 24 adults aged 38 to 65 were observed and brown fat was found in only 2 of them. People with brown fat gain less weight even if they eat the same as others, are naturally thin, and have low blood sugar levels. Currently, it is difficult to create brown fat that does not exist in the body. However, it is possible to activate beige fat to have the same function as brown fat. Beige fat is present in most adults. There are three ways to activate beige fat to produce the same ‘good effects’ as brown fat:
▷Exercise = The hormone ‘irisin’, which activates beige fat, is released from muscles when you exercise. Irisin is secreted in large quantities when exercising at low intensity for a long period of time rather than exercising at high intensity for a short period of time. If you walk briskly for 40 minutes, four times a week, your secretion of irisin increases. Doing squats at home from time to time is also helpful.
▷Living cool = When the body is exposed to cool temperatures below 15 degrees, it activates brown fat as well as beige fat to raise body temperature. If you are an adult without health problems, it is best to keep the room from being too hot. Staying in a cool place for a long time can prevent obesity by activating beige fat.
▷Eating spicy food = The ‘capsaicin’ ingredient that gives peppers their spicy taste stimulates and activates beige fat. The reason you sweat when you eat spicy food is because beige fat burns energy and generates heat. Capsaicin also acts to activate brown fat.
