thermogenesis

Thermogenesis is the process by which your body generates heat, primarily to maintain its core temperature. It occurs through various activities, such as physical movement, digestion, and metabolic processes that break down food. Some tissues, like brown fat, are specialized for producing heat directly. This process helps your body stay warm in cold environments and can also influence energy expenditure, impacting weight management. Essentially, thermogenesis is your body's way of converting energy into heat, ensuring you stay at a stable internal temperature regardless of external conditions.
