How To Keep Fit And Sexy During Winters
Hey Ladies
Winters are at their best, and do you know we put on weight during this period? There are a lot of reasons we gain weight in winters more than other seasons.
They are –
1. It’s a common belief that we need to eat more to stay warm, but is that the case? And, those with more flab feel more cold and to stay warm they eat more resulting in piling on weight. And more calories stores in form of white fat in the body while we need brown fat to burn calories to keep warm.
2. Sometimes we feel more hungry during winters, that could be because of melatonin, hormones triggered due to darkness, contribute more sleep and in appetite.
3. Another case is, if you don’t even eat more in winters still you put on weight, the reason is we need sunlight to synthesis Vitamin D and in winters we don’t get enough sunlight so low level of Vitamin D stores more fat in body.
4. In winters, we tend to eat more fattier foods. We crave for puddings, brownies, fried food, more teas and coffees which results in extra calories which are hard to burn in winters due to our less activities in winters. Most of the time we keep our self inside, stocking up in warm clothes and lessen our activities.
The result is weight gain. But there are some strategies to keep fit and lean during winters.
