Giving the Finger to Fat

With just two fingers you can prove how easy it is to adapt to cooler temperatures and lose weightIt’s a simple test to demonstrate that your body doesn’t require a perfect temperature to be comfortable, it has a range of temperatures that are comfortable.  Part of our amazing evolutionary survival is the ability to adapt. Not all adaptation happens genetically, it can be driven intellectually as well.

Changing the temperature of the environment around you is one of great examples. Humans NEED an environment cooler than their biological set point to discharge of excess metabolic waste heat. This heat is a result of the many complex biochemical processes going on inside your body to keep you alive.

One of my first realizations that the body did not have exact, predetermined comfort setting for temperature, came after swimming in a pool one early evening in Mesa, Arizona. It was 110F/43C and the sun was just beginning to set. The water was toasty warm, feeling more like a bath than a pool, but after my run it felt amazing. I got out of the pool and before I could get to the chair with my towel I began to SHIVER.
