British scientists offer to fight obesity with the help of thermal

Scientists from the University of Nottingham (University of Nottingham), UK, proposed a new way to fight obesity through a unique technology that uses thermal imaging and thermal imaging. With it you can detect in the body reserves of brown fat, which is considered "good" fat. Their proposed methodology is described in an article published in Journal of Pediatrics.

Brown fat or brown adipose tissue controls how fast your body burns calories obtained. It produces 300 times more energy than any other tissue in the body. Theoretically, the more a man of brown fat, the less the possibility that all the excess calorie intake will accumulate it as white fat. Symonds, Michael (Michael Symonds), Professor of Physiology, School of Clinical Sciences (School of Clinical Sciences) and his colleagues first used thermal imaging to determine exactly how much of brown fat in the body of each person and how much heat it produces. This technique is not invasive and completely safe even for children.

"We are confident that we have developed technology will fundamentally new development in the fight against obesity - the author writes of development. - Detailed study of the work of brown fat by using thermal, in the future we will be able to place labels on their products thermogenic index. It will show, raises or lowers the product heat brown fat, that is, slow down or speed it burn calories our body. "

Obesity is one of the critical problems of the population of Europe and America. Against the background of this epidemic is a growing number of children who are overweight. In the UK alone in the 1990s, the number of obese children has nearly doubled. Currently obesity affects approximately 155 million children around the world.
