A new study in 12 men with and without brown fat has shown for the first time that when activated by mild exposure to cold, brown fat increases blood glucose disposal, insulin sensitivity, and energy expenditure in humans.I now go in the pool just to shiver. No need to swim. Ha.
(I wonder how long that Hot Yoga fad is going to last.)
Cooler bedroom temperatures may boost metabolic activity
For the record- epinephrine is well documented (1968) to induce the mitochondria to proliferate and "brown" the fat....
Stimulants raise epinephrine levels. And make me shiver. Huh. How about that.
