How This Winter Weather Can Actually Help You Burn Fat and Lose Weight
Regulating body temperature in cold weather is a natural process of producing heat known as thermogenesis. There are methods of raising body temperature through shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis activities. Shivering produces heat with contracting muscles causing some of the energy to show up as heat. Non-shivering thermogenesis occurs in brown adipose tissue found in mammals. This type of heat production is a result of neurotransmitters activating brown fat cells to release hormones and proteins causing cellular metabolic rate elevations. As... View Article
