The next time you complain about your body fat, make sure you direct your anger towards the white fat cells and share some love with the brown fat cells.

It’s true, when most people hear the word “body fat”, they usually think jiggly arms, belly rolls, and love handles.

However, today I want to give you a better understanding of your fat cells, as well as a specific type of fat cell that plays a key role in your health, and may actually help you burn more body fat.

Are There Benefits To Body Fat?

All body fat is not bad.

In fact, having the right amount of body fat is critical in:

• Providing the necessary insulation to keep you warm during the cold months
• Helping fuel your body when at rest
• Being used as an energy source during exercise
• Importance for overall hormonal health

However, it’s the stored excessive body fat that is unhealthy and should be a priority for people to lose.

Let’s jump into it.

Fat Cells In The Body: Brown Fat Vs White Fat

The human body creates two different kinds of fat cells:

1. Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT): we’ll refer to this as brown fat cells
2. White Adipose Tissue (WAT): we’ll refer to this as white fat cells

Here are the major differences between the white fat cells and the brown fat cells.

White Fat Cells

White fat cells create the unwanted excessive body fat that you and I love to hate.

White fat cells create:

• Jiggly arm fat
• Belly rolls
• Love handles

White fat cells have been linked to numerous health conditions including:

• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Heart disease

Brown Fat Cells

Brown fat cells do the opposite.

In fact, the brown fat cells are often referred to the “good type” of fat because they actually may help you burn more body fat.

You may be asking, how can a brown fat cell burn more body fat?

Well this research shows that brown fat cells can be 15 times more metabolically active than white fat cells, and may even help the body absorb more sugar, thus lowering blood sugar levels.

This means brown fat cells may actually help with fat loss and burning calories.

Brown fat cells are also loaded with mitochondria, which act like motors to provide extra heat to the body, by burning body fat and creating thermogenesis.

This simply means that you can burn hundreds of more calories per day.

When you compare that to white fat cells, they contain very little mitochondria.

Some People Have More Brown Fat Cells Than Others

Here’s the thing.

Most people tend to have low levels of brown fat cells.

However, there are others who seem to be blessed with more active versions or have higher levels of brown fat cells.

You know these people.

They’re the ones who seem to be able eat anything they and never gain body fat.

If this is getting a little too technical for you, just remember this:

• White Adipose Tissue (WAT) fat cells = The Bad Guys
• Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) fat cells = The Good Guys

How Can I Increase Brown Fat In My Body?

If you’ve got this far, you’re probably wondering, how do I create more brown fat cells in my body?

The formula is simple.

To create more brown fat cells in your body you need to consistently follow a well structured, high quality workout program and eat healthier food.

Now I know, doesn’t everything health related always seem to come back to that?

By consistently working out and eating a healthy diet, your body can convert white fat cells into brown fat cells.

Consistent workouts and healthy eating also creates a more thermogenic system in your body, which in turn can help generate more brown fat cells.

Researchers are currently trying to find new ways to develop and reproduce more brown fat cells in the body to help fight obesity and diabetes.

This is just another way your body rewards you for consistently following the right kind of workouts and eating the right types of foods.

Once you treat your body right, it’ll show you the rewards.
