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 They have been replaced by air conditioned food courts !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 !

  1. I seriously suspected tis long ago !
    If you work in a hot environment -at least you sweat- like those construction workers- have you seen a fat construction worker before? We spend long hrs in cool air con places- body definite will become lazy & fat. Not suggesting we all go do manual jobs, but just agreeing our excessive use of air-conditioning is a major factor in making us FAT !!!

  5. Unless you can eat the air-con ...lol... other then that, I don't see how it can literally make you fat. But of course that's not what's written. A cool relaxing environment does makes it conducive for us to snack more. If one is hot & sweaty, you wont want to munch on anything anyways.

  7. Diet is the main culprit - you are what you eat.
    The rest are just frills & excuses.

    5. Hi MayLee , it's all in the mind. You need to train the mind. Don't give up & just keep doing it -after a while, you will get used to not eating.
      Eating suppers is more like a habit.

    6. Thanks for the encouragement guys :))

    1. Just tell him you are there for weight loss -that's all. Most of us do :))
      And yes you can ask for medication & see what he says- not to worry, he's super friendly :)
