Number One Way To Turn BAD Fat Good Again

Hey There! I hope everyone is well. :) Doing my daily digging for my wisdom blog, I came across an email from pro/grade (Great products and info, and available at http://healthystepsllc.getprograde.com ) with a title that caught my eye... Number One Way To Turn BAD Fat Good Again. I know what your thinking, and before you stop reading, it's not one of those...reduce belly fat by following this one simple trick... Nope, just info I assure you. Okay, so Fat has received a bad rap for decades, but we now understand that there are good fats and bad fats. Good fats are essential to a healthy, balanced diet and a well-functioning body. On the flip side, bad fats must be avoided at all costs. This particular article is not about the FAT from food. No, this article talks about the fat your body is composed of. If you are not familiar with the 2 types of fat the human body is composed of, let me tell you, we have White adipose(fancy word for fat) tissue, and Brown adipose tissue. White adipose tissue (WAT) is used as a store of energy and also found in abundance in overweight un-healthy individuals. This BAD fat of the 2 types, should be kept in a low ratio of fat to muscle by eating the "good fats". Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is abundant in small mammals and in newborns and helps them to survive cold temperatures. In adults, it had long been considered to be absent or at least of no relevance. Recent investigations, however, have fueled interest in adult BAT. More energy from the burning of brown fat then burning white fat. So anyway, keep reading and you will now have the inside track on the number one way to turn bad fat good again. Although, I suspect you all ready know what the one thing is... Yep, EXERCISE. :) As you know, exercise is a very, very important aspect for your health. It keeps you strong, flexible, and healthy. Plus – with the added muscle mass – it may keep you fit and trim for years to come. But, I bet you didn't know this about exercise… Exercise and Fat Cells Depending on the type of exercise you do, you can burn extra calories which may lead to overall weight loss. And, if you add in some strength training, then you may alter your muscle tissue (a good thing!), therefore allowing your body to burn even more calories at rest. This could alter your body composition (fat vs. lean muscle mass), allowing for a stronger, leaner, and trimmer body. But new research - that was just presented - shows that exercise may actually CHANGE the composition of your fat cells – for the BETTER! Your fat cells play a larger-than-life-role in metabolism, blood sugar control, as well as countless other important tasks. Brown fat tissue may lead to extra calories burned (when activated due to shivering, etc.). Well, now a new study shows – in both mice and humans – that exercise may lead to changes in the composition of your fat cells – therefore enabling your body to burn more calories and potentially lose more weight. The study used 10 healthy men who performed a 12-week training program that significantly improved their VO2 max. They showed that the training protocol significantly increased some markers of “browning” of white adipose tissue. Whoa! So what does this mean? Simply put, exercise training causes the bad WAT to behave like BAT and burn fat better and release more energy. This better burning of fat, allows for your metabolic functions to remain stable for longer periods of time and increase calorie burn and weight loss. YAY!!! There it is! Don't you just love EXERCISE?! Exercise with Brenda and Michelle = BURN More Fat! CHECK! Take care! Melissa
