Many people dream about how to get rid of your fat. In fact, fat protects internal organs and stores energy.
Within us there are different kinds of fat. They have different colors and different work.
white fat
Most have white fat. These fat cells to store up fat as an energy source.
If raskarmlivat their fat cells, they first swell of fat, and then begin to behave strangely. They do not affect insulin and blood glucose levels. Large fat cells so interact with our own immunity, which is constantly kept in the body inflammation. This leads to different diseases.
yellow fat
In fact, most of the white fat cells are not white, and yellow. They look like melted butter. Such color fat cells attached carotene. This yellow-orange precursor of vitamin A we get from plant foods. The body does not use immediately all carotene, and stores it in fat tissue.
brown fat
A lot of brown fat in young children, but few adults. It is located only a few places in our body.
Brown fat itself produces heat well and makes the white fat to produce energy, too. So we bask in the cold.
In thin people brown fat more. It is believed that if somehow stimulate brown fat cells, it is possible to effectively reduce weight.
beige fat
Beige fat is located in the same places as the white fat. Usually beige fat begins to work in the cold. He also produces heat, though not as effectively as brown fat. Beige fat is good for the level of insulin in the blood.
visceral fat
Visceral fat surrounds and protects our internal organs.
This fat is the worst influence on our health. He hormonally active violates insulin work provokes inflammation, increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and malignant neoplasms. Therefore, to assess the risk of all these unpleasant events in people measure the volume of the stomach. The greater the volume, the greater the abdominal visceral fat, and the higher the risk.
Sometimes the amount of fat has to be checked by special methods. Sometimes you see someone and you realize that conventional methods had the amount of fat can not be measured. At the weigh-in for such a normal body weight, and thin arms and legs. It is clear that absolutely no muscle. This is the case with the elderly or seriously ill.
Athletes may conversely be a high weight, but it can not see the fat under the skin. About visceral fat they can not understand anything.
Personally, I've been doing my patients ultrasound and watch the amount of fat around the kidneys. This is clearly seen by layers of fat between the liver and kidney. Sometimes it grows, and sometimes disappears. But this is an unusual and subjective method. So rarely does.
The proper method - is dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. This procedure was used for the determination of bone mineral density, and for determining the body composition.
If you think that you have excess fat is harmful, then ask your endocrinologist. The doctor will explain everything to you.
