Embracing Cold Exposure for Longevity and Athletic Performance: A Comprehensive Guide Cold exposure boosts the amount and activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT)--or BAT FAT because it's fun to say--a metabolically active fat that generates heat in response to cold. Newborns have up to 5% BAT, which helps them maintain core body temperature after birth. However, regular cold exposure is necessary to maintain BAT levels, and many adults lose this fat due to constant temperature-controlled environments and, thus, the perception that cold exposure is unhealthy. It's not just perception, too, many cultures (while for good historical reason, they wanted to...

How to Boost Your Metabolism with These Simple Tips Here's an expanded look at some cutting-edge methods to tap into the power of your mitochondria to boost metabolism in addition to the article below   Drink Low Deuterium Water:   What it is: Deuterium is a heavy isotope of hydrogen found in natural water. Low deuterium water has a reduced concentration of deuterium that comes only from very, very high elevation sourced water. Why it works: High deuterium levels can disrupt mitochondrial function by affecting the energy production process. Drinking low deuterium water may help improve mitochondrial efficiency and reduce...
