The Benefits of Cold Exposure
43:29 - 53:59 (10:30)
Cold exposure can activate and convert white fat into beneficial brown fat, but to fully trigger this process, one must cycle between entering and exiting the cold without drying off.

Summary
Low-level movements and cold exposure can stimulate fat loss by triggering epinephrine release and increasing metabolism. A study published in Nature shows the positive effects of cold exposure on fat loss and metabolism.
