Cool the body and eat sweet peppers to help

Scientists say moderating coldness and a chemical found in sweet peppers can increase the amount of 'brown fat' that helps "burn" excess fat in the body.

Scientists in Japan have discovered that exposing the body to a suitable time as well as eating sweet peppers can help prevent weight gain from age .

Both of these factors have similar effects in creating brown fat tissue (BAT) , which regulates how the body releases energy.

A chemical found in sweet peppers helps increase BAT levels associated with weight loss.

BAT is a type of tissue that exists in all children, there are many around the neck and chest. But as children get older, the amount of BAT gradually decreases. This ratio differs from person to person and previous studies have demonstrated a link between decreased BAT levels and weight gain at the time of older people.

This is the first time that the BAT has been proven to be recovered once lost. Lead researcher Takeshi Yoneshiro said: 'The results we have obtained show that human BAT levels can be restored even in people who have lost BAT, thus contributing to reducing body fat'. .

Scientists put participants in an environment of about 17 degrees Celsius for about two hours a day, continuously for six weeks. When compared to the non-exposed group, they found that the amount of BAT in the experiment increased and at the same time body fat decreased by about 5%.

While this result seems obvious because the body of the chilled people must be more active to stay warm, the surprising thing is the absorption of 'capsinoids' , the substance mainly found in sweet peppers. , also has the same effect as BAT. The substance activates parts of the intestinal temperature sensing, similar to the way hot peppers affect the taste cells in the mouth.
