How to get rid of belly fat simply and painlessly

Experts have discovered a painless way to melt belly fat in just 30 minutes a day.

We know that an ice pack is very useful in reducing inflammation and swelling in sports injuries. However, a recent study by Turkish scientists has shown that ice packs can also help with weight loss, especially in burning belly fat.

Accordingly, you simply need to place this ice pack on fatty areas such as thighs, or abdomen for 30 minutes. This also helps you burn a large amount of calories.

Experts explain that ice water makes the fat burning process more active and helps strengthen the connective tissue in the abdomen. We humans have two types of fat tissue - white fat and brown fat.

White fat stores energy as lipids and produces hormones that circulate in the blood to fuel your muscles. White fat tends to make you look fatter. Brown fat is used to burn energy and generate heat.

So from the perspective of weight loss, brown fat is good fat and white fat is bad fat. Currently, experts have discovered that when white fat is in cold temperatures, it can turn into a type of brown fat - which researchers call "beige"

"Brown fat would be a powerful aid in fighting obesity," said Dr. Philip Kern of Turkey Medical University. "It would help burn calories in the body rather than turning them into new fat tissue."

Researchers analyzed abdominal fat tissue from 55 people and took thigh fat tissue from 16 people after they had applied ice packs to their skin for 30 minutes. The results showed that the amount of white fat tissue in this area decreased and turned beige.

The analysis of the results showed that in winter, the amount of beige fat is higher than in summer. The study also explains why a person craves fattier, more calorie-dense foods in winter - with the purpose of keeping warm, not necessarily providing energy for muscles.

Researchers found that obese people have an inability to convert white fat into beige fat, which in turn makes it difficult to convert into brown fat - which helps keep the body warm.

Some other studies by American scientists also show that a type of fat molecule in the body is beneficial such as Omega-3 fish oil and hydroxyl fatty acids or FAHFAs.

Accordingly, mice containing high levels of FAHFAs may be able to fight diabetes and obesity. According to experts, this research will help open up new hope in helping to lose weight and reduce the increasing obesity epidemic in the world.

The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
