We all want to get rid of excess fat that always seems to be stubborn. However, it is merely a surface phenomenon. In fact, adipose tissue (AT), like the organs in our body, constantly metabolizes and regenerates, and the life of fat cells (adipocytes) is also time limited. Eating the right food can starve the adipocytes to death.
Fat Growth Requires Blood Vessels to Provide Nutrients
Microscopically, the AT includes not only the white cellulite that we see with the naked eye, but also a huge number of capillaries running through it.“Fat is like any other tissue—it requires a blood supply to stay alive,” said William W. Li, medical doctor, author of “Eat to Beat Disease,” president of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and former faculty member at Harvard Medical School, in an interview with the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times.
