Fat to burn fats


Lose weight has always been topic of conversation for many people in the world, especially women, and, as we all know, doctors have created a non-end list of diets and methods for reducing fats and make our body look healthier but what has been recently discovered may change some things.

Brown adipose tissue or brown fat is abundant in children’s body and is an excellent and natural way for generating body heat to prevent them from hypothermia by burning fat and calories in their bodies. This type of tissue was thought to disappeared from our bodies among we grew old but recent studies have shown that it is also present in adults’ bodies but in really low quantities, and that is where scientists focused on.

The procedure consist in providing fat people’s body with a nucleic acid called miRNA-133 to activate the production of brown fat in their bodies and that way burn white fat which is the responsible of 25% of bodyweight in women. Scientist state that with the production or rise of the levels of this fat in our bodies, we could lose weight faster and in an easier way.

Now, what’s left is to ask: Would you try this procedure? Or you just think it is another less effective way of reducing your size?

Do Not Forget about Your Calories; Otherwise, Your Calories Will Make You Forget


            If you are concerned about the amount of calories in your organism, you had better not forget about it; otherwise, this would not only make you a potential victim of a cardiac arrest, but it also may make you literally forget about it. A study conducted at Mount Sinai Medicine School in New York by a team of scientists led by Professor Giulio Pasinetti demonstrated that the excess of calories in the body may lead to develop Alzheimer’s disease.
            Professor Pasinetti and his group carried out an experiment using mice as test subjects; these rodents were divided in two groups in which they were fed throughout a period of over six months with low and high-calorie aliment, respectively. As a result, those mice that were provided with high calories presented symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s while the other group had fewer signs given the lower amount of beta-amyloid proteins, which are the responsible for this disease.
            At the same time that beta-amyloid proteins decrease, another group of proteins, known as sirtuins, expresses in calorie diets are controlled; sirtuins are the elements that diminish the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Pasinetti and his team synthesised a sirtuin, SIRT1, and examined brain cells in which this protein was added to make sure that they work the same way as in calorie-restricted diets. The result: in certain way, they did.
            Taking this into account, do you think that you have been careful about your appetite? Would you change your potential memory loss for a bit of belly rumbling?
