The Skinny on Brown Fat
and Eliminating Obesity
This trend explores numerous
studies and examples of how white
cell/brown cell transformation could
work, focusing on three areas:
pluripotent cell transformation, cold
therapy and drugs. For example,
researchers have induced
pluripotent stem cells and turned
them into induced brown adipocytes
by transducing a gene.
Easier to understand is the (heavily
trending) cold therapy where
research shows that brown adipose
tissue can be recruited, expanded
and activated by exposure to cold
environments (cryotherapy). This
increases metabolic rate, although
results are highly individual.
Fasting is also proving to be
effective and the number of drugs
that encourage thermogenesis is
increasing. Medical professionals
recognize that it is harder to lose
than to gain white fat, but the
breakthrough on white to brown cell
transformation will only increase as
science teaches us more. It’s all
part of a reality coming ever closer:
living like 40, even when we reach
the age of 90.
