Read More »Exposure to cold temperatures may help boost your metabolic rate by stimulating brown fat activity in your body ( 1 ). While your fat stores are mainly made up of white fat, they also include small amounts of brown fat. These two types of body fat have different functions. White fat’s main function is energy storage. Having too much white fat tissue may promote inflammation and insulin resistance. In contrast, the main function of brown fat is to maintain body heat during cold exposure ( 2 , 3 ). Brown fat’s calorie-burning effect has been shown to vary among individuals. In general, people who are obese seem to have less active brown fat than normal-weight people ( 4 ). Based on early animal research, chronic exposure to cold is believed to lead to the browning of white fat — though this is still being studied ( 5 ). Human studies indicate that exposure to cold temperatures may significantly increase calorie burning, depending on the amount of active brown fat in your body ( 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ). What’s more, you don’t need to endure freezing temperatures to reap this benefit. In one study, healthy young men with similar body compositions stayed in a 66°F (19°C) environment for 2 hours. Though calorie burning increased in all of them, the effect was tripled in those with the highest brown fat activity ( 10 ). In another study in 10 lean, young men, exposure to a temperature of 62°F (17°C) for 2 hours led to an additional 164 calories burned per day, on average ( 11 ). A few ways to obtain the benefits of cold exposure include slightly lowering the temperature in your home, taking cold showers, and walking outside in cold weather. SUMMARY Exposure to cold temperatures has been shown to stimulate brown fat activity, which increases the number of calories you burn.

Is the holiday season bringing out your extra-indulgent side? It happens — and you may end your holiday dinner feeling like your belly is bulging from all that food. If practicing portion control wasn’t part of your strategy and now it feels like your belly has tripled in size, don’t worry. Your stomach hasn’t actually inflated that much, according to Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Rather, it’s likely just gas. “It’s caused by excess air or gas in the gastrointestinal tract,” says Chicago-based owner of RAD Nutrition Rachel Doyle, RDN, who focuses on gut health. “When we eat, carbohydrates are broken down and their fiber is fermented, producing gas that expands, which can lead to bloating.” Unpleasant as it is, it’s generally not something to worry about. “Typically, bloating is not a sign of anything serious, especially if it is only occurring after large meals,” says Pam Fullenweider, RD, the founder of Fully Mediterranean in Houston. If it’s chronic, however, visit your healthcare provider to rule out something more serious. “If you are experiencing bloating frequently, it’s always a good idea to explore it further with a doctor or dietitian to determine the root cause and rule out any underlying medical conditions,” Fullenweider says. Even run-of-the-mill bloating can be a pain though. The good news is that you don’t have to just sit uncomfortably and wait it out. Follow these seven quick tips to get rid of bloating and return to the holiday merriment.
