<p>The human body has two kinds of fat cells namely white and brown. Brown fat cells act as a thermostat with cold temperatures inducing brown fat to create heat. Brown fat turns nutrients into energy and helps to keep bodyweight down.<br></p>

<p>This study suggests that coffee with its caffeine properties can be of great help to trigger brown fat, thus making it a fat buster.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Professor Michael Symonds from the University of Nottingham speaking with Medical News Today said: "The results were positive and we now need to ascertain whether caffeine as one of the ingredients in coffee is acting as the stimulus or if there's another component helping with the activation of brown fat.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"We are currently looking at caffeine supplements to test whether the effect is similar. Once we have confirmed which component is responsible for this, it could potentially be used as part of a weight management regime."<br></p>

<p><em>So could a cup or two of coffee a day really help to extinguish that belly jelly and help lead to a leaner you?</em></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"This is the first study in humans to show that something like a cup of coffee can have a direct effect on our brown fat functions. The potential implications of our results are pretty big, as obesity is a major health concern for society, and we also have a growing diabetes epidemic, and brown fat could potentially be part of the solution,'' declared Professor Symonds.</p>
