THERMOGENIC, BROWN-FAT-ACTIVATING NUTRITION

By Shoshana Pritzker, RD, CDN

The body has two forms of fat— white fat, or the ugly fat that lies underneath the skin and causes unsightly cellulite, and brown fat, which often is found in the shoulder blade region or the neck. Unlike white fat, brown fat is actively good for your body. Brown fat burns calories. The more brown fat you have, the more calories you can burn. Sounds good to me!

Interestingly, there are ways to increase the amount of brown fat you have and activate what is already there:

1. Turn down the thermostat. Studies show that brown fat synthesis increases with exposure to cold.

2. Eat spicy foods. Spicy foods, like chili peppers, contain capsaicin, which has been shown to activate brown fat cells, helping your body turn on the heat and burn more calories.

3. Exercise more. Studies show that brown fat is more active during and post-exercise.

4. Eat just the right amount, and not too much. Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine found that hunger cues help regulate the transformation of white fat to brown fat. That means if you’re constantly eating and never allowing yourself to experience natural feelings of hunger and satiety, you could be interfering with your body’s ability to burn fat.

5. Eat more apples. Ursolic acid, found in apple peels, has been shown to help increase brown fat, thus increasing energy expenditure.
