Now the heading of this article is not supposed to be mean – honest – but I’ve heard this idea of how reducing heat in the home can make you slimmer and therefore I guess fitter before, and wasn’t really sure whether it was some kind of joke as it doesn’t sound like a particularly cool way to loose weight – if you’ll excuse the pun!
However, I just saw the video below from one web nutrition and health advisor guy (and another similar I found later) on the web I really trust to use REAL research (there are so many self-appointed charlatans on YouTube it’s not funny so be careful), and he re-confirms what our mothers and fathers of previous generations already knew or at least proved (as central heating was non-existent in their day) and food was not as abundant to replenish what was burned off through exercise.
Here’s the video and another I found confirming again this theory that to be fair, stands to reason and is fairly obvious. Let’s face it, we all know we burn more carbs when we are cold but I think most of us forget so it is worth a reminder. Also I’ve noticed I work more quickly when the heating in my ‘office’ (glorified bedroom) is lower – and pretty fast when it’s cool or even a little uncomfortable. Wether it’s metabolism or psychological that causes this I am not sure but it certainly is the case for me, so might be worth a little research if you are an office manager trying to get the best out of your staff and want to find ways to stop them nodding off!
Simply lower the temperature in your house to lose weight!
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
