寒冷可以使人減肥（雙語）

　　Being cold helps you lose weight, a new study found.

　　一項新的研究表明，寒冷可以使人減肥。

　　Exercise or being exposed to low temperatures creates more 'good' brown and beige types of body fat which burns calories in the body.

　　Previous research has found being cold mimics the effects of exercise, protecting againstobesity and improving metabolic health.

　　Now, a new study has discovered how exposure to cold dramatically alters the composition of bacteria the gut, and this leads to fat-burning, improved glucose metabolism, and reduced body weight.

　　The findings could provide new treatments for overweight or obese people, researchers said.

　　Professor Mirko Trajkovski of the University of Geneva said: 'We provide compelling evidence that gut microbes play a key role in our ability to adapt to the environment by directly regulating our energy balance.

　　'We are excited about exploring the therapeutic potential of these findings and testing whether targeting some of these microbes could be a promising approach for preventing obesity and related metabolic conditions.'

　　While ordinary white fat- known as 'bad' fat - piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn excess calories to generate heat.
