Many people gain a lot of weight in winter. This weight will not decrease in the next year. But what is the relationship between winter and weight?

According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, on average, most people walk and walk a little less in the winter, and fear of winter also reduces morning walks; But on the other hand, the amount of food increases in winter. More is eaten in winter than in summer, but less calorie is consumed. Metabolism slows down, resulting in faster accumulation of fat in the body. So you have to exercise even in winter.

However, a study on rats found that in winter, ‘white’ fats tend to be converted to ‘brown’ fats to increase body temperature. The body becomes obese due to ‘white’ fat. For this it is more harmful. Compared to that, ‘brown’ fat is less harmful for the body. The study was published in the journal Molecular Cell. It is said that a protein called ZFP 517 has a strong role in the formation of brown fat.

Meanwhile, many people have skipped morning walks for fear of getting cold in winter. But it is not a good idea to give up the habit of daily walking. Instead of avoiding the cold you can follow some tips. For example, to avoid the fog and dew, change the time by not walking too early in the morning or evening. You can go for a walk after sunrise in the morning or in the afternoon. Wear clothes in two or three layers. A hat or scarf, of course. Because at this time one-third of the body heat can escape from the head. Wear socks and sneakers. You need to warm up before you start walking. Drink more and more water.

You can also exercise at home if you don’t want to go out much because of winter. In winter, the sport of badminton, basketball or volleyball is almost on the rise in front of the house or on the street. But these can work quite well. Swimming in the indoor pool is also a good exercise. When you go out to work to keep your body fit in winter, walk a lot without any vehicle, go shopping, break the stairs. Do physical work at home to reduce laziness. Such as gardening on the roof or cleaning the house. Can do yoga or aerobics.

It is eaten more in winter. Moreover, eating pithapuli and payes increases at this time. Eat, but stay. Keep track of food. Include lean nutritious foods such as soups and lots of vegetables on your menu. Avoid sugar even if you drink tea and coffee frequently.
