If we had it our way we’d like to consume lots of ice cream and for the extra calories to evaporate. Regrettably, our bodies are frugal. Our internal machinery runs economically and excess energy is stored for the next famine in the form of fat. But fat tissue actually offers a glimmer of hope for burning off extra calories. You see, we have two types of fat tissue in our body, white fat, which is the fat that stores extra energy in the form of fat droplets, and brown fat, which is much richer in blood supply and has many more mitochondria (hence its color). Mitochondria are intra-cellular tiny organs that utilize fuels (glucose, fats) to produce energy. In brown fat inefficiency occurs through the “uncoupling protein” – a protein in the mitochondrial inner membrane – that converts the cell’s fuel into heat rather than energy. Brown fat burns off calories, especially when we’re exposed to cold temperatures. While white fat stores energy while brown fat uses it. Brown fat, however, is something we have very little of. Babies are born with brown fat dispersed throughout their body – it helps them maintain their small body’s temperature. The amount of brown fat diminishes with age, with small amounts persisting in the upper chest and neck. But brown fat can be revived, we’ve discovered, and there’s actually a third type of fat: beige fat. Beige fat is white fat that’s turning brown after stimulation.
