Japanese study finds way to burn fat without exercise

Australian Broadcasting Company: "Japanese researchers claim to have found a way to get rid of excess fat without exercising, in a breakthrough which could lead to better treatment for obesity and diabetes.

When a cellular receptor in muscles is chemically activated, it induces fat consumption in the muscle according to research led by Tokyo University professor of metabolic medicine Juro Sakai."

"Even if you do not exercise, metabolic activity accelerates, leading to weight loss," Professor Sakai said.
