Apparel and method for burning calories in a human body

Abstract

Apparel for burning calories in a human body includes a support garment made from a composite fabric having embedded semiconductor nanoparticles and embedded carbon nanoparticles. The composite fabric includes a plurality of woven threads constructed in any weaving pattern into the support garment. The woven threads include a selected percentage of composite threads containing the semiconductor nanoparticles and the carbon nanoparticles. The composite threads can have an integrated structure or a twisted thread structure. A method for burning calories in a human body includes the steps of providing an apparel in the form of a support garment made from a composite fabric having embedded semiconductor nanoparticles and embedded carbon nanoparticles, and placing the apparel in contact with a region of the body.

         8 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the second percentage is from 53% to 70% of the woven threads. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composite fabric comprises a plurality of jade threads. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composite fabric comprises a plurality of elastic threads. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composite fabric comprises a support garment. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composite fabric comprises a support garment selected from the class consisting of leggings, shorts, shirts and wraps. 
     
     
         13 . An apparel for burning calories in a human body comprising:
 a support garment configured for contact with a region of the body,   the support garment comprising:   a composite fabric comprising embedded semiconductor nanoparticles configured to release negative ions responsive to a transdermal effect from heat in the region of the body flowing into the composite fabric for generating a micro electromagnetic field in the region of the body and embedded carbon nanoparticles configured to release infrared waves responsive to the transdermal effect from the heat in the region of the body flowing into the composite fabric; and   the composite fabric comprising a plurality of woven threads, the woven threads including a selected percentage of composite threads containing the semiconductor nanoparticles and the carbon nanoparticles.   
     
     
         14 . The apparel of  claim 13  wherein each composite thread comprises a combination of at least three components in an integrated structure including a base material, the semiconductor nanoparticles compounded with the base material, and the carbon nanoparticles compounded with the base material. 
     
     
         15 . The apparel of  claim 13  wherein the woven threads include at least three separate threads in a twisted structure including a base thread, a semiconductor thread, and a carbon thread twisted together. 
     
     
         16 . The apparel of  claim 13  wherein the woven threads comprise a plurality of jade threads. 
     
     
         17 . The apparel of  claim 13  wherein the woven threads comprise a plurality of elastic threads.
