Let’s Look at the Power of Cold Thermogenesis (CT) If you are a human in winter today, take solace in the knowledge that being outside burns calories. Cold provides a healthy and sustainable alternative strategy for increasing energy expenditure. On one extreme, shivering can increase your metabolic rate is much fivefold. Whereas mild cold exposure, around 60°F, can induce a process called non-shivering cold thermogenesis, or CT for short. This can significantly improve your calorie-in to calorie-burned ratio. And even if you eat more to compensate, most people will not eat enough to undo the extra expenditure. CT increases your metabolic rate and the effects can last for a very long time. Consider again that running a marathon burns about 2500 calories. A three hour CT session can burn around 3800 calories. The effect of CT on weight loss is great, but what may even be more important is considering the effect of long term exercise. Everyone can benefit from cold thermogenesis exercises, especially those with chronic disease like obesity, diabetes, and the arthritis type diseases.  CT works by manipulating your fat cells and...
