Brown fat - white fat .. we've got them both in our bodies. The white fat's the jiggly stuff Americans, in general, have too much of. The brown fat cranks up body heat - helping us dissipate food energy as heat. For years, researchers have been looking for a way to rev up the brown fat so we don't store as much white fat. Lo and behold, some researchers at Dana Farber have done just that with mice.
Of course, there's much more research ahead but it's interesting, no?
In the meantime, we're always told to eat more antioxidant rich food . .and that berries top the list. One of my favorites - the FIT AND ACTIVE berry blend sold at Aldi's. Good price, good taste, good bang for the buck .. just stick to serving size as dried fruits of any kind are higher in calories than fresh.
