There are 3 different types of body fat that are stored in the body.
Brown fat- which can burn calories and maintains body warmth. It has even been proven to burn white fat.
White fat - which produces a hormone called adiponectin which stimulates liver and muscle cells to be more sensitive to insulin effects, which decreases chances of diseases like diabetes and obesity.
Visceral fat - Which occurs in the belly and other parts which is harmful to our body and play a large role in insulin resistance which leads to diabetes and other liver disorders.
