Why do we lose weight faster during the summer? ?

The sun helps to lose weight: Light in the length of the blue wave, very intense light during the day, piercing into the skin reaches surface fat cells and makes them “created”. Lypids actually become smaller and are more easily extracted through the cell membrane.

In winter, low light presence would favour the opposite effect, and thus fat is accumulated.

According to the author of this study, Peter Light, a researcher at Canada's Diabetes Institute, fat cells would work as a type of biological clock that tells the body how much fat burns according to the season.

Unlike mammals, man has almost everywhere in his body, under his skin: In the course of evolution, he may have served as an external light sensor, useful for acumulating weight and energy in winter, when it was harder to find food and use these reserves in summer, losing weight.

Beware of burning.

But besides explaining the experts, you need to beware of the sun, not to be exposed for long hours, since you thus damage your health, and you are threatened by burns. You don't have to stand in the sun thinking that the more you stay the more pounds you're going to lose, because it's still not clear whether it's the intensity or length of light that activates the “waste mechanism” of fat.
