Is air-conditioning making us FAT ???

I'm sure many of you have at least experience sauna once. What it does is to make you sweat it out, & hopefully you lose some weight & clear the skin a little. Then there's hot yoga- it's like normal yoga +1...haha... yes if you don't sweat while doing the normal yoga because you probably are having your class in some nice cool place, hot yoga is the opposite! It's Yoga exercises performed in hot and humid conditions. Due to the heat, Hot Yoga really make you sweat,  it also rapidly enhance flexibility and improves blood circulation.

So the idea is to sweat it out, but we often do not have the chance to do just that! I sleep in an air-con room. I wake up , eat my breakfast get into my car ON the air-con & zoom to work. My office is big with full blast air-coning. Comes lunch,  most days I do not entertain the thought of going to the humble hawker center & sweat it out with the rest. IN actual fact you don't find the hot & humid hawker center in town anymore. They have been replaced by air conditioned food courts ! Which brings me back to something I was thinking of, is staying too much indoors with air-conditioning indirectly making us FAT ?

Living in constantly comfortable temperatures, the body do not have to work to keep cool or warm. Body gets lazy, fats accumulate & before you know it, you have a tummy, your thighs grew a little larger & your ass a little fatter !
