Cold Temperatures Associated With the Production of "Good Fat Cells"
Winter can be a drag but now at least there is one good thing that comes from these freezing temperatures.
Most people dread winter and the drop in temperatures. They burrow in their warm houses and blankets and wait patiently for spring, but what if braving the temperatures could benefit your well being?
Study shows the benefit of your body being in a colder environment in the form of "good fat cells" also known as brown adipose tissue. This form of fat burns sugar and excess calories as well as helps regulate blood sugar, vs white adipose tissue which stores calories, and accumulates. Scientists are now trying to figure out why the drop in temperatures causes our cells to react this way, and what we may be consuming that could trigger this response artificially.
