But research now shows fat cells “talk”. They tell each other when to release fat. Dr. Michael A. Smith, Senior Health Scientist for Life Extension, explains it like this:
“It turns out that fat cells are just as complex as any other cell in the body. They have receptors on the surface that enable them to send and receive signals.”
When fat cells receive a signal to “release fat,” they loosen their grip on the fat inside.
But that’s not all. They ALSO send messages to cells in muscles, the liver, and other organs,
forcing them to USE the released fat for energy.
So not only does it signal the fat cells inside your body to open up and release what’s inside, it also signals your muscles to use this newly released fat for energy.
