A study by Endocrinologist Dr Paul Lee suggests that shivering is capable of stimulating the conversion of white fat to energy burning brown fat.
With 50gm brown fat capable of burning up to 300 calories per day maybe exploring ways to shiver may be advantageous.
So, I could turn the heating down and make the whole family put on a few extra layers (and save some money) or I could try a cold shower (and still save some money)!
Having browsed, I have discovered many people discussing the benefits of a 30 day cold shower challenge. So tomorrow I'm going to give it a go.
