Nutrition Tip Tuesday
Coach Alex teaches about "Brown Fat" - it's actually a kind of fat you WANT on your body!
Brown fat, also known as brown adipose tissue, is a type of fat that is found in small amounts in the body. Unlike white fat, which stores excess energy and contributes to obesity, brown fat is responsible for generating heat and helping to regulate body temperature. It is rich in mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells, which makes it more active and metabolically active than white fat.
Brown fat is most commonly found in the neck and upper chest of babies and young children, and it helps to keep them warm in cold environments. In adults, brown fat is present in smaller amounts and is found in the neck, upper chest, and upper back.
Brown fat has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including improved insulin sensitivity, increased metabolic rate, and reduced body weight. Some research suggests that increasing brown fat in the body may be a useful strategy for weight management and reducing the risk of obesity and related conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
