The new study published in renowned journal ‘Cell’ suggests that during the exposure to the cold, gut microorganisms regulate the fat metabolism. This provides better results in reducing body weight. Exposure to cold temperatures is known to mimic the good effects of exercise, which protects the body against obesity and improves metabolic health. A study published in renowned Journal ‘Cell’ reveals that the beneficial health effects of cold exposure are mediated in part by gut microbiota.

The researchers found that cold exposure dramatically alters the composition of intestinal bacteria in mice. It happens such a way that this microbial shift is sufficient to burn fat, improve glucose metabolism, and reduce body weight. The scientists have provided compelling evidence suggesting that gut microbiota plays a key role in adapting to the environment by directly regulating energy balance.…
