Amazing! Eating fish help burn fat?

A recent study found that fish oil can be stored fat cells into fat-burning cells, which may help curb weight gain in middle-aged. Research results were published in international journals scientific reports.

The researchers explained that fish oil can activate receptors in the digestive tract, activating the sympathetic nervous system, thereby inducing fat cells metabolize fat.

Not all fat tissue to store fat. White fat cells store fat can help maintain energy supply, while brown fat cells are primarily responsible for the metabolism of fat to maintain normal body temperature. Brown fat cells in the baby's body is relatively abundant, but decreased with age, most of adulthood brown fat will disappear.

Another fat cells - beige fat cells - a type of fat cells in humans and mice recently found, studies have shown fat cells beige brown fat cells have a similar function, such cells will increase with age growth reduction, without these burning fat cells, the fat will be piled up for decades and will not be consumed.

In this study, researchers for the intake of a particular type of food is to increase the number of beige fat cells were studied. The authors say: "We know from previous studies in some of the fish oil has many health benefits, including preventing the accumulation of fat, so we are on whether fish oil intake and beige fat increases an association has been studied."

The researchers carried out a group of mice fed the control diet, while another group on the basis of the control diet added fish oil, results showed that compared to the control group did not eat fish oil, fish oil 5% weight loss in mice 10%, fat content decreased by 15% to 25%. The researchers also found that when the sympathetic activation within white adipose tissue will form a new beige fat cells, increased fat consumption.
