Ice baths for fat loss
The hot summer is coming, and so many people are starting ice baths to help them cool down after exercise. But do you know? In addition to cooling after exercise, and with can also help you lose weight!
After exercise, people will sweat a lot, the body’s metabolism is accelerated, and the ice bath itself will lead to accelerated metabolism. This is because the body needs to expend energy to keep the body temperature stable. Therefore ice baths after exercise will to some extent, increase daily energy consumption and, thus to some extent promote weight control.
In addition, there are three types of fat in the human body. The fat that stores the body’s energy is white fat, which is the source of obesity that we generally hate. The other type of fat is brown fat, which is found in the neck, back, and heart, and is coffee-colored due to its high density of mitochondria. However, the difference between these two types of fat is not just the color. White fat stores energy, while brown fat burns energy and produces heat. In addition to white and brown fat, beige fat is another type. When we exercise, our muscles secrete a hormone called irisin, which sends a message to beige fat and eventually converts it to brown fat. The study hypothesized that cold showers cause the skin to shiver to maintain body temperature, which increases the concentration of cortisol and adrenaline, accelerating the burning of body fat.
Take action and take an ice bath to cool down your body and reduce fat in this hot summer.
