Health researchers have found a new fact about burning fat.

It was found that brown fat in your body could change to energy when they are taken in chill form. It is a breakthrough for people who are in the hope of fighting obesity.

According to researches, test results showed that brown fat is metabolically active only during cold.  This could be the reason why rodents and newborn babies are able to keep themselves warm.

Brown fat are found in rodents and new born babies. Now science has discovered that adults also carry a certain amount of brown fat.  A test was conducted on six men aged 23 to 42. They are given water-cooled suit. The purpose of the experiment was to establish how to minimize shivering. The six men was then exposed to a radioactive chemical.

The result showed that the radioactivity disappeared from the brown fat in just minutes. One astonishing fact is that the radioactivity did not metabolized in the warm subjects. Conclusion was then drawn that cold-induced activation of brown fat metabolism.

However there was some drawbacks on the study. The test is still unable to confirm whether brown fat is metabolically active during cold conditions in other internal organs such as the heart because of the limited view of the PET/CT scanner.

Although there were still some further investigations needed, this is a good beginning in fighting obesity which bring hope to many needing adults.
