Have you ever wondered how hibernating bears are able to sleep through the coldest winters without freezing to death? Thanks to the biochemical and metabolic processes involved in thermogenesis, they survive by burning up stored fat. This natural process of fat burning occurs while they sleep!
Humans also have the capacity to burn fat through the same process as the animals, though modern lifestyles and habits have suppressed some of our thermogenic capacity. However, there are ways to stimulate the thermogenic process to aid in weight loss-- both artificial and natural.
The most popular artificial method of stimulating the thermogenesis is through the use of diet pills. These chemically-based, fat burning supplements have been on the weight loss landscape for years. Unfortunately, some of these pills have been linked undesirable side effects, while others have posed dangerous health risks-- including death.
Natural thermogenic methods are the safest way to go, and can produce the desired results without the detrimental side effects. You can find these kind of products in health food stores, larger grocery stores, and on the Internet.
Thermogenesis is simply the creation of heat. Another way to induce heat is to wear a garment that induces perspiration. This method has been used for years to reduce body fat in targeted body zones, most often the waistline or thighs. These products are often made out of rubber, either natural latex or synthetic. If you choose to wear one of the garments or accessories, it's best to limit the time you wear them, especially if exercising, since extended wear can result in dehydration. When in doubt, consult with your physician.
