That's the theory behind the research Australian scientists Dr Paul Lee, published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Dr. Lee made human experiments indicate that shivering and moderate exercise produce the same burning hormones.
He also conducted laboratory experiments which showed that the hormone is able to transform cells of human white fat into brown fat cells healthy.
" Until a few years ago I thought brown fat was only found in newborn babies to keep them warm, " he told the News.
But research shows that adult human brown fat also maintain. In infants, brown fat is mostly located in the upper back and shoulders. While the adults were around the neck.
" The more brown fat as adults , they will be more sleek and low blood sugar, " said Dr. Lee from Sydney 's Garvan Institute research.
" If you can increase brown fat in the body, is likely to protect people from weight gain and diabetes. "
Dr. Lee's study showed that body shivering for 10 minutes to 15 minutes at a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius or 16 degrees Celsius to produce hormones similar to those who cycled for one hour.
The air temperature is less cold, 19 degrees Celsius according to Lee also beneficial. However, more research is needed to determine the temperature exposure is safe and effective.
" Our results suggest that moderate exposure to cold may help, but the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise should not be overlooked. "
Professor of Endocrinology of the Garvan Institute and St Vincent 's Hospital Don Chisholm said the cold is a strong activator of brown fat. However , modern humans may have been lost due to the effects of these fats are rarely exposed to the cold.
" Brown fat is very healthy. This helps burn calories and sugar. But if we can find a method or style of living to activate brown fat, " he said.
However, a healthy diet and regular exercise should not be overlooked.
