Our bodies have a built in thermostat that auto-regulates. When the temperature increases, our bodies produce sweat to cool us off.
If you’ve ever done any research or taken any classes on how your body digests food, you already know how complex the process can be.
Depending on a variety of factors, the body digests food as either protein, carbs or fat.
It’s kind of complicated, but it helps us decrease our fat stores when the body uses this as fuel instead of opting for the easier to digest option, glucose.
Certain activities and forms of exercise put our bodies in the ideal condition for fat burning. Which brings us back to the topic at hand: cold water swimming. For this sort of exercise, fat is your body’s primary source of energy.
Not only does swimming in cold water speed up your metabolism in the moment, but the effect seems to stick!
Apparently, the increased work rate will increase your metabolism in the long run.
Which means that you will burn more calories just by performing normal bodily tasks and daily activities! Now, that is cool.
When you decide to brave the cold water, you may want to bring along a waterproof iPod.
The Underwater Audio Waterproof iPod Shuffle is great for helping entertain and distract you through the pain of exercise and, in this case, super cold water.
