Interesting. I found this:

“Here are some ways to help stimulate the production of brown fat:

*Cold Exposure: Exposing your body to cooler temperatures can help activate brown fat. Try taking cold showers, ice baths, or spending time in a cooler environment2.

*Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercises, can promote the browning of white fat into brown fat.

*Certain Foods: Some foods and compounds can help stimulate brown fat. These include:

Capsaicin: Found in hot peppers, capsaicin can increase fat burning and energy expenditure.

Green Tea: Contains catechins that may help activate brown fat.

Olive Oil: Rich in polyphenols, which can promote brown fat activity.

*Adequate Sleep: Ensuring you get enough quality sleep is important for overall metabolic health and can support brown fat function.

So it ties with a lot of the basics: exercise, plenty of sleep, certain foods.

Though the cold exposure tie was unexpected for me.

It might be true but “scientists” aren’t what they used to be. They call themselves scientists and we accept that self-designation then somehow whatever they say, is more believable. I am skeptical.

Considering what was known about brown fat in the 1980s related to neonatal nursing care, sounds like someone needs published so they don’t perish. Such a waste of money...!

Location, location, location. Brown adipose tissue is not belly fat.

Unfortunately for me, I have too much of the other kind. I have to really watch my carb intake

"According to Scientists, This Type of Fat Could Help You Lose Weight and Live Longer"

Notice that these headlines ALWAYS are full of Weasel Words, like "could" and "may," never concrete terms like "can" or "will?"
