Why do people get fat more easily in winter?

Most people think that winter is the season of hiding meat, and wearing thick clothes can't show you being fat or thin. Therefore, the motivation to lose weight is insufficient and it is easy to get fat. In addition, it is easy to get fat in winter for the following reasons:

0 1 appetite.

There is a "thermostat" in the human body to control the body temperature within a certain range. When the external environment temperature drops, the body temperature will also change. In order to maintain body temperature, the body needs to consume more heat energy. In addition, the cold weather promotes the secretion of gastric acid, which makes people have an appetite.

Accelerate fat synthesis and metabolism

Fat is not easy to transfer heat, and the fat distributed under the skin can reduce the heat loss in the body and prevent the invasion of external radiant heat. When the temperature drops, in order to maintain a constant temperature in the body, the human body will instinctively store more fat to resist the cold. At this time, the speed of human fat anabolism is 2 to 4 times faster than usual, while the speed of fat catabolism is lower than usual 10%. Results Fat synthesis is more than fat metabolism, and fat accumulation leads to obesity.

Eating while it's hot makes you fatter.

When the weather gets cold, people like to eat some hot food to drive away the cold. Studies have proved that the temperature of food, especially the temperature of starch food, has an important influence on the digestion and absorption of food. Hot starch food has a higher glycemic index and can be converted into glucose faster, which is more conducive to digestion and absorption. The faster the food is digested, the weaker the satiety is. In order to achieve the same satiety, people will eat more food and consume more calories. Starch food will produce resistant starch after cooling. Resistant starch belongs to dietary fiber, which is a kind of carbohydrate that is not easy to digest and absorb, and can enhance people's satiety.

04 motion reduction

When the temperature drops, people's lazy roots begin to breed and love to get into the warm bed. In this way, if you exercise less, you will naturally consume less calories. In the case of more calorie intake and less consumption, the remaining calories will be converted into fat.
