Coffee has many different effects on your body. The one that is obvious, giving a quick burst of energy when you need it has been abused by humanity by quite some time now. But there are other effects and the newest that has been discovered by British scientists from the University of Nottingham shows that caffeine can increase the burning of energy and thus help us lose weight.
Brown fat cells have a significant role in the organisms ability to burn energy stored in the form of either sugars or form of fats. This energy burning process is often activated whenever the organism feels cold. This is a big difference when comparing brown fat with white fat as that is mainly used to store energy.
Previously we thought that only babies have brown fat cells but later we discovered that even adults have them. And interestingly, people who are in better shape have more brown fat cells compared to people who are obese.
Michael Symonds and his coworkers first tested the effects of caffeine on brown fat cells in a laboratory. There they found that caffeine does indeed increase the burning of the energy. But often, what we see in a laboratory isn't exactly the same thing as in real life. That is why they found some volunteers who drank coffee and they observed the reaction of their brown fat cells. And once the caffeine got delivered towards the brown fat cells it started producing more heat.
