Thermogenesis and Weight Loss
The word thermogenesis is derived form two parts: thermo meaning heat, and genesis meaning creation or formation. Hence, thermogenesis means the generation of heat.
Thermogenesis is a normal process, like digestion, in which the body's brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns up the calories your body doesn't need.
Scientists believe the concept of thermogenesis is the most exciting news from weight management research in fifty years. Being overweight occurs primarily when BAT is not functioning properly and the body must deal with excess calories by storing them as white fat.
For years scientists have been trying to discover what goes wrong with the thermogenetic process - why some people stay thin by burning off excess calories and why some people lack this capacity and hence put on unwanted kilos and centimetres. Middle age spread is now considered the result of the body's BAT function shutting down. For some young people their BAT ceased to function properly from an early age.
Scientists have discovered that by combining specific amounts of certain totally natural thermogenetic substances, it is possible to create a basically new compound with a very effective thermogenetic action. This means that it is possible to shed that unwanted weight without strenuous exercise, without drastic changes in your eating habits and without the depressing failures of fad diets.
Brown adipose tissue thermogenesis will do the following:
- Prevent dietary lipids from being stored as white fat
- Convert current white fat back into soluble lipids to be burned off
- Burn off the soluble lipids
- Increase the body's energy by increasing the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue
- Remove the craving for the foods high in calories that cause the problem in the first place.
