According to scientists, a single cup of coffee can have a direct effect on our brown fat functions.’
A simple cup of coffee may hold the key to tackling obesity and diabetes, suggests new research. Brown fat — which people sometimes refer to as “good” fat — helps the body turn nutrients into energy and generate heat.
Unlike brown fat, another type of fat that scientists call white or yellow fat results from the excessive storage of calories.
Whereas medical experts associate white fat with obesity and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, brown fat may help people stay lean and maintain a healthy body weight.
Some researchers have suggested that prompting the body to turn white fat into brown fat could be a successful way to fight obesity, and studies have focused on specific pathways that could facilitate this fat burning process.
The researchers compared the effects of drinking a cup of coffee with those of drinking water, and found that “drinking coffee (but not water) stimulated the temperature of the supraclavicular region,” which corresponds to the area where brown fat accumulates in humans, and which “is indicative of thermogenesis.”
