Burn fat with the berries

Want to burn fat?  Instead of sweating it out at the gym, you could instead start eating blueberries and grapes.

They both contain a compound that helps break down fats that build up in muscles through inactivity, ageing or eating a high-fat diet.

Muscular fat interferes with normal muscle function and makes it harder for the body to efficiently use glucose and fatty acids, say researchers from Shinshu University in Japan.  Untreated, the fat can cause insulin resistance which is a precursor of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Pterostilbenehe, the compound found in berries, reduces abnormal fat buildup in muscle cells by boosting fat breakdown and helps stabilize a key protein involved in fatty acid metabolism.
