Physical activity is always good: in summer, in winter, in the morning, in the afternoon. Every season and every moment of the day is good for doing some sport.
Winter has arrived, the gyms are closed and probably the idea of taking a walk in the cold does not even pass through the antechamber of the brain. But perhaps we don’t know the great benefits that can be obtained walking or even running in cold weather.
The low temperatures, in fact, guarantee results that are nothing short of amazing.
Exercising in the cold makes you lose weight and makes your skin toned
When you jog in low temperatures, for example, your body consumes more calories in order to warm up and reach its optimal temperature. In this way, the metabolism accelerates both during and in the hours following physical exertion and you lose weight faster.
The comparison concerns winter and the other times of the year when it is warmer, especially summer. While some believe sweating is the best way to burn fat, this myth needs to be dispelled.
The sweating it is nothing more than the loss of fluids and mineral salts, but not fat as many claim.
After discovering the truth about this urban legend, you can easily deduce why you can lose weight more in winter than in summer. But on one condition: that of moving (an essential condition, among other things).
Surely, the same thing cannot be said if you stay in front of the TV eating chocolate biscuits …
What about the skin?
We have said that doing physical activity in the cold makes you lose weight and makes your skin more toned. Therefore, the skin of our body also enjoys the advantages of the combination of sport and cold.
However, there remains one problem to be addressed in these cases, which is the famous dehydration. Cold temperatures cause dry skin, which can be remedied by passing moisturizer every day after a shower.
Dry physique and perfect skin are guaranteed and frost proof!
