room temperaturejust by adjusting improve health and lose weightStudies have shown that it can be done.
A research team from the Australian Institute of Gastronomy found that a cool room temperature is a healthy fat. ‘brown fat’was found to generate Brown fat is different from white fat, which causes visceral obesity. generate a lot of heatIt has a positive function of maintaining body temperature. According to the research team, low temperature triggers the production of brown fat, and conversely, when the temperature rises, brown fat is lost.
According to previous studies, brown fat generates heat and body energy consumptionincreases That is, the amount of brown fat increases. Lower risk of obesity or diabetesIt is.
Dr. Paul Lee, an endocrinologist who led the study, and colleagues conducted an experiment on five healthy men who lived in a room with different temperatures every month for four months.
Experiment first and third monthsthe room temperature of 75℉(23.9℃)kept, 2nd and 4th monthare respectively 66℉(18.9℃)and 80.5℉(26.9℃)made me stay in
The men who participated in the experiment did their usual activities in the morning and afternoon, and lived at the temperature suggested by the research team for at least 10 hours after returning home at night.
The first and third months are periods in which body heat is neither produced nor lost by temperature. In other words, participants did not generate heat to warm themselves or lose heat to cool down.
The first month of the experiment is also the period during which the average amount of brown fat produced by the participants is measured. The second month I lowered the temperature in the room This is to compare with changes in the level of brown adipose tissue. As a result, the participants in the second month experiment brown fatthan this first month 30-40% increaseshowed a result.
In addition, in the third month, the brown fat of the participants returned to the same level as the first month, and in the fourth month, the production level decreased.
The research team Increased amount of brown fatwhen doing insulin sensitivityIt was also found that the increase in People with a lot of brown fat can lower blood sugar levels after eating with a smaller amount of insulin. In other words, brown fat is difficult to lower blood sugar after eating. help diabeticsThis can be.
Dr. Lee said, “The study found that increasing brown fat can improve insulin sensitivity,” and “It will help research to treat people with glucose metabolism disorders.”
“The rise in temperature worldwide is interfering with the production and function of brown fat,” he said.obesityclass metabolic disordersOne of the causes of brown fat” he added.
The study was published in the online edition of the Journal of Diabetes and was reported by Health, an American health information magazine.
