Though it may seem somewhat strange, scientists have found that there is a strong co-relation between type 2 diabetes or insulin sensitivity and cool temperature. The researchers at Maastricht University Medical Centre, in The Netherlands  have concluded that keeping the room temperature between 15C to 19C for a few hours every day can have a remarkable impact on your insulin sensitivity.  As per the report, insulin sensitivity of diabetics who were being studied, increased by 40% over a 10 day period. Read the complete report by the Telegraph here.

Interestingly,  the same team had come up with findings in 2014 that obesity could be tackled easily  by maintaining cooler temperature  in our  rooms. The science behind this fact is that cold temperature raises your metabolic rate which in turn speeds up your metabolism and you start burning calories faster, up to 30% faster.  In fact, shivering can increase your metabolic rate five-fold helping you burn up to 400 calories per hour. Now the choice is yours. What could be a better way to burn calories without doing anything?

Even more interesting is the fact that you can easily adapt to lower temperatures and feel more energetic in addition to enjoying the experience. Whether you are suffering from type 2 diabetes or obesity, you can definitely give this simple method a try. Just try to spend some time in shivering temperatures every day and see the results whether you are in the Netherlands or UK. However, make sure that severe cold does not impact you adversely.
