Coffee could be the secret to fighting obesity as scientists discover drinking a cup each day 'stimulates weight loss'

Researchers in Nottingham tested the effects of caffeine on nine people They had already successfully trialed their theory on human cells in a lab
  • Coffee was found to increase the activity of brown fat, which burns sugar and fat
  • Caffeine is believed to be what triggers the beneficial effects
  • Drinking coffee could help people slim down and avoid type 2 diabetes by helping the body burn off extra calories, according to researchers.
    Scientists say a cup of the hot drink may kick-start brown fat into action – brown fat is active tissue which burns sugar and fat from food to warm up the body.
    It is different from white fat, which is what makes people look overweight. This is food fat stored by the body when people eat more energy than they use.
    Caffeine is believed to be the part of coffee which takes the body's calorie-burning up a gear, but the scientists said more research is needed.
    More than two-thirds of UK adults are overweight and around 3.4million people – one in 20 – have type 2 diabetes, which can lead to a stroke or heart disease.

    Researchers from the University of Nottingham tested their theory on nine healthy volunteers after finding it had worked in a lab.
    The people were aged 27, on average, and had to refrain from exercising, drinking caffeine or taking drugs or alcohol for nine hours before the tests.
    They were then given a cup of Nescafé instant coffee or water in an experiment for comparison, and their body scanned while the caffeine effects set in.
    'From our previous work, we knew that brown fat is mainly located in the neck region,' said Professor Michael Symonds.
  • So we were able to image someone straight after they had a drink to see if the brown fat got hotter.
    'The results were positive and we now need to ascertain that caffeine as one of the ingredients in the coffee is acting as the stimulus or if there's another component helping with the activation of brown fat.'
    The thermal scans showed the people's brown fat in their neck got hotter when they drank the coffee, showing it was working to burn calories.

    Until now, the scientists said, nobody had found an easy and safe way to stimulate brown fat into action.
    It was not clear from the research whether a single cup of coffee in the morning would be enough to trigger the calorie-burning all day, or whether people should drink it more regularly.
    The researchers wrote, however, that caffeine could trigger fat-burning 'at doses compatible with human use'.
    Unlike white fat, a visible build-up of which is the result of eating too many calories, brown fat is a functioning tissue which serves to heat up the body by burning fuel – it is found in large amounts in babies and hibernating animals such as bears.
    Brown fat is perhaps confusingly named and is actually found in larger amounts in slim people.
    It is also more common in youth – it makes up around five per cent of a baby's body mass but it was thought to disappear before adulthood. Scientists recently discovered that adults do retain small stores of it, mostly around their necks.
    '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,' Professor Symonds said.
    '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 in tackling them.'
    The team also found that when brown fat was activated the body did a better job of controlling amounts of sugar and fat circulating in the blood.
    This improvement of blood glucose control could help to protect people against type 2 diabetes, which affects around 90 per cent of the more than 3.8million people in the UK with diabetes.
    Professor Symonds and his colleagues will continue their work to find out whether other sources of caffeine could have the same benefits.
    Their research was published in the journal Nature: Scientific Reports.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF COFFEE?

Scientific studies into the health effects of coffee are being done all the time and have, in the past, claimed the drink brings fairly big health benefits.
Reduces early death risk

Research by the National Cancer Institute in the US last year found people who drink six or seven cups of coffee each day were 16 percent less likely to die from the disease within a 10-year period than those who didn't.

Less likely to get depression

Another study, done by the Harvard School of Public Health, found that women who drank four or more cups of coffee per day were 20 per cent less likely to suffer from depression.
Women have higher pain threshold

British scientists at Goldsmiths, University of London, found women who drank coffee – 250mg of caffeine, to be precise – tended to have a higher pain threshold than those who didn't.

Lower type 2 diabetes

The Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee last year said it had trawled through nearly 30 studies of almost 1.2million people to find drinking three or four cups of coffee each day could slash the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 27 per cent.

اس گرم مشروب (کافی) کا ایک کپ روزانہ موٹاپے سے لڑنے میں مددگار

ویب ڈیسک25 جون 2019
5d1124ce117b1.jpg

یہ بات برطانیہ میں ہونے والی ایک طبی تحقیق میں سامنے آئی۔


کافی پینے کی عادت اضافی کیلوریز کو جلا کر جسمانی وزن میں کمی لانے اور ذیابیطس ٹائپ ٹو سے بچانے میں ثابت ہوسکتی ہے۔
یہ بات برطانیہ میں ہونے والی ایک طبی تحقیق میں سامنے آئی۔
ناٹنگھم یونیورسٹی کی تحقیق میں بتایا گیا کہ روزانہ اس گرم مشروب کا ایک کپ جسم میں ذخیرہ ہونے والی بھوری چربی کو حرکت میں لاکر شکر اور غذائی چربی کو جلانے میں مدد دیتا ہے۔

یہ بھوری چربی سفید چربی سے مختلف ہوتی ہے جو کہ لوگوں کو موٹاپے کا شکار دکھاتی ہے۔
کافی میں موجود کیفین جسم میں کیلوریز جلانے کے عمل میں حرکت میں لانے والا جز ہے، تاہم محققین کے مطابق اس حوالے سے مزید تحقیق کی ضرورت ہے۔

اس تحقیق کے دوران 9 صحت مند افراد کی خدمات حاصل کی گئیں جن کو ورزش سے روکا گیا جبکہ ٹیسٹوں سے 9 گھنٹے قبل کیفین پلائی گئی یا ادویات دی گئیں۔


بعد ازاں جسم میں کیفین کے اثرات کے لیے باڈی اسکین کیا گیا۔


نتائج سے معلوم ہوا کہ کافی پینے سے سے بھوری چربی گرم ہوکر متحرک ہوگئی اور یہ پہلی بار ہے کہ سائنسدانوں نے اس چربی کو متحرک کرنے کا آسان اور محفوظ طریقہ دریافت کیا۔


محققین کا کہنا تھا کہ کیفین چربی جلانے کے عمل کو شروع کرتا ہے اور اس طرح موٹاپے پر قابو پانے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے جبکہ ذیابیطس جیسے مرض سے بچنا بھی ممکن ہوسکے گا۔


اس ک یوجہ یہ ہے کہ جب بھوری چربی متحرک ہوتی ہے تو جسم کے لیے شکر اور خون میں گردش کرنے والی چکنائی کی مقدار کو کنٹرول کرنا بھی آسان ہوجاتا ہے جس سے بلڈ گلوکوز کو کنٹرول کرنے میں مدد ملتی ہے، جس سے ذیابیطس ٹائپ ٹو کا خطرہ کم ہوتا ہے۔


اس تحقیق کے نتائج طبی جریدے جرنل نیچر سائنٹیفک رپورٹس میں شائع ہوئے۔

A cup of coffee a day could help to shed the pounds, study suggests

24 June 2019 •


Drinking a cup of coffee a day could help beat obesity, according to the first major human trials.
Scientists have found that coffee can stimulate “brown fat” - which plays a key role in how quickly calories are burned off.
Brown adipose tissue, also known as brown fat, is one of two types of fat found in humans and other mammals.
Its main function is to generate body heat by burning calories - unlike white fat, which is a result of storing excess calories.
People with a lower body mass index tend to have a higher amount of brown fat, experts say.
The study by Nottingham University researchers, published in the journal Scientific Reports, follows a series of studies which have found such a link in animals.
Study co-director Professor Michael Symonds said: "Brown fat works in a different way to other fat in your body and produces heat by burning sugar and fat, often in response to cold.
"Increasing its activity improves blood sugar control as well as improving blood lipid levels and the extra calories burnt help with weight loss.
"However, until now, no one has found an acceptable way to stimulate its activity in humans.
"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 in tackling them."
The research team started with a series of stem cell studies to see if caffeine would stimulate brown fat.
Once they had found the right dose, they then moved on to humans to see if the results were similar.
The team used a thermal imaging technique, which they'd previously pioneered, to trace the body's brown fat reserves. The non-invasive technique helps the team to locate brown fat and assess its capacity to produce heat.
Prof Symonds added: "From our previous work, we knew that brown fat is mainly located in the neck region, so we were able to image someone straight after they had a drink to see if the brown fat got hotter.

"The results were positive and we now need to ascertain that caffeine as one of the ingredients in the coffee is acting as the stimulus or if there's another component helping with the activation of brown fat.
"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 or as part of glucose regulation programme to help prevent diabetes."

Any food or drink which causes insulin release in the body contributes to obesity. There is no secret formula; stopping or drastically reducing the constant triggering of insulin is the answer to getting and staying fit and healthy.
Diets which are loaded with carbohydrates are insulin triggers and make weight gain inevitable at some point.

Could coffee help you lose weight? New research suggests a fat-busting effect

Drinking coffee could activate the body's fat-fighting defenses, a discovery that could have potential implications in the battle against obesity and diabetes.
In a study published Monday, researchers at the University of Nottingham said that coffee may help stimulate our brown fat reserves, also known as brown adipose tissue, which play a key role in how quickly we can burn calories.

There are two forms of fat cells, brown cells and white cells, and each plays a different role in our metabolism.
While brown cells help generate heat, white cells are responsible for the storage of fat -- or, energy -- ready for release as needed. Levels of brown fat are known to be high in children but recent findings on the presence of brown fat in adults has restored hope to use them as targets to treat obesity.
"Brown fat works in a different way to other fat in your body and produces heat by burning sugar and fat, often in response to cold, said professor Michael Symonds, from the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham, who co-directed the study.
"Increasing its activity improves blood sugar control as well as improving blood lipid levels and the extra calories burnt help with weight loss. However, until now, no one has found an acceptable way to stimulate its activity in humans."
The scientists started by testing out coffee on stem cells to see if it would stimulate brown fat. Once they found the right dose, they moved on to humans to see if the results were similar.
The team used a thermal imaging technique on four men and five women to trace the brown fat reserves and see how it produced heat.
"From our previous work, we knew that brown fat is mainly located in the neck region, so we were able to image someone straight after they had a drink to see if the brown fat got hotter," Symonds said.
So will drinking a cup of coffee help you lose weight, as well as get out of bed?
The study only involved nine people and the research is still at a very early stage. Scientists say they still need to determine what it is exactly about coffee that busts fat.
"The results were positive and we now need to ascertain that caffeine as one of the ingredients in the coffee is acting as the stimulus or if there's another component helping with the activation of brown fat," Symonds said.
"Once we have confirmed which component is responsible for this, it could potentially be used as part of a weight-management regime or as part of glucose regulation program to help prevent diabetes."
