Beige fat and ice packs -- What the heck?

[Bandista 7,466]

We already have a lot of ice packs in our freezer (arthritis) -- I am intrigued by this notion but not sure at the start of the cold season I am ready to strap an ice pack on my little flubby tummy (no longer the big Mrs. Winnie-the-Pooh profile but would like the last of it to go, go, go). But still, I may be trying this:

Ha! Let me know your results. I can so see this as the next diet fad. Theoretically the study is right but it's a bit more complicated than just strapping on ice packs to your belly.

Well, it might be worth considering. I do know already that I sleep much better when the bedroom is cool (66-68 degrees) more so that when the bedroom is warmer (like in the summer and the air conditioner is not on. Hmmmmm, maybe even a walk in the crisp autumn air might be helpful beyond just being good exercise.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting indeed! And it definitely can't hurt to try it! The only thing I like about the cooler weather is that it's better for running so perhaps this gives me another reason to like it?lol
