Unexpected Health Benefits of Getting Outside During the Winter

Freezing temperatures can help increase your resting metabolism. Constantly being exposed to cold weather will result in a speedier metabolism.  Resting Metabolism (RMR) is the energy required by your body to perform the most basic functions when your body is at rest. Exercise and shivering in the cold will help increase the stored energy your body needs to maintain a healthy resting metabolism.

Getting outside and taking care of your physical and mental health is necessary during these freezing months.

Cold weather can cause your body to burn fat. Cold temperatures cause our body to shiver, which activates reactions within brown fat cells. Our bodies utilize that reaction to regulate our core body temperature. We produce our own heat through thermogenesis, which burns calories and results in decreasing body weight.
