(2 years ago)As the thermometer seems to be “crazed” and the temperatures outside are too high, you are probably the kind of person you're sweating on from house to car and vice versa. Well, we're in the summer, and the hot one will be today's companion, at least for a few months. [...]
You probably feel that you are sweating more at the gym or during natural training, but does the heat of summer really have an effect on burning calories during this season?
Our body works hard to maintain a steady internal temperature of about 37 degrees Fahrenheit [37 ° C]. This is a physiologic process called thermodisposition. If the body feels that its internal temperature is rising, sweat glands are activated to sweat and keep the body fresh.
No matter how hot or sweaty you feel, the body does a good job of keeping cool. It doesn't require more calories to produce sweat, and for that reason, you don't burn more calories in the heat. Some people produce more sweat than others do, but there is no study showing that more sweat means higher calories.
When outside is very hot, people can sweat more, which leads to dehydranation,” says cardiologist Marc Eisenberg, writes Today.
When you are dehydrated, blood pressure may fall and, in response, your heart rate may grow to offset lower blood pressure,” adds Eisenberg.
He adds that an increase in heart rate is not translated into even a large burning of calories.
Do you burn more calories when it is hot or cold?
You won't burn more calories in the heat, but history changes when the weather is cold. According to “National Institutes of Health”, the body works hard to maintain its internal temperature in both hot and cold environments.
But when it is cold, heat loss and body temperature decline, hypothalamus (a small region in the brain) increases body metabolism to generate heat. In addition, muscles contract involuntarily to cause shocks that lead to heat. Trembling also burns calories, which can lead to weight loss.
Does training in the heat help to lose weight?
You may have seen fewer pounds in summer after exercise or training, but this is probably due to loss of water. The rise in heat causes the body to sweat to keep itself fresh, Annabel quotes.
If you do not drink water and electrolytes to replace the sweat you are losing, you may lose several pounds of water weight and become dehydrated. /Telegraphy/
