In fact, our body's fat cells all have a common feature, that is, when we are in infancy, fat cells will increase in large numbers. In adolescence, the number will reach a peak, and after reaching the peak, the number of fat cells will be basically stable.
So, to put it simply, the fatness we see is only determined by the size of fat cells.
In addition, the main component of fat droplets is triglycerides, so the amount of triglycerides will also affect the volume of fat cells.
When the fat in our body begins to provide us with energy, the triglycerides in these adipose tissues will be misappropriated. At the same time, it is decomposed into glycerol and fatty acids under the action of lipase, thus producing heat, carbon dioxide, water and adenosine triphosphate that our human body needs.
Eventually it will be excreted in the form of sweat or urine, while carbon dioxide will be excreted in the form of breathing.
When some glycerol and fatty acids in our fat cells decrease, the volume of fat cells in our body will also decrease.
So at this time, we will be thinner in appearance.
Remember, fat and muscle are two completely different tissues, and it is even more impossible to transform into each other.
The reason for this misunderstanding is mainly because of the relationship between fat and muscle.
When a person was originally strong, but later neglected to exercise, eating and drinking, subcutaneous fat would cover the muscles, making people unable to see the lines of the muscles, so many people would mistakenly think that the muscles they had practiced had become fat.
