 In an average winter, we add to its weight of 1 to 2 kilograms, and it is almost inevitable. However, they can not score if you know exactly where they come from. Want to know why we get fat in winter?
Do we need to eat more to stay warm?
Experts say there is. This is one of the most common myths. Moreover, it turns out, the big merzlyachkami women are overweight.
Then why do we eat more when it's cold?
In the days of our ancestors during the winter months were the most hungry in the year. This is one explanation. We are so genetically programmed to increase their fat reserves for the winter. But even if so, the current abundance of products calls for the centuries to break the stereotype. That is, hypothetically, our genes are capable of storing information about the hungry season, but now the time comes when we can control the appetites of winter. After all, hunger is unlikely to occur in our days.
But I still want to eat more in the winter!
If stored in a warm room temperature, and dress warmly, the problems with increased appetite should not be. Rather, her drop of poison added melatonin, the so-called hormone of darkness. After all, winter in the street is much darker than in other seasons. So. Melatonin, a hormone of darkness makes us feel sleepy, sluggish, and provokes increased appetite. In the spring and summer, the amount of melatonin on the decline, but the fall and winter, its concentration increases.
And why in the winter it would be desirable to eat something fatty or sweet?
Indeed, it happens. And the reason for that - the state of melancholy or boredom, which intensified in the winter. The body requires to cheer himself, to raise the mood. Therefore, in the winter like sweet. In spring and summer we do eat carbohydrates, winter - more fat.
It turns out that the winter people rarely experience the state of happiness, there is a high level of dissatisfaction. And studies show that in this state we choose foods that increase the level of comfort (high-calorie foods: sweet, fat) and consume them in 2 times more.
I do not eat in the winter anymore, but I still complete.
In our weight in winter may affect low levels of vitamin D. The body needs sunshine, and in winter it is noticeably smaller. Moreover, even when it is, almost the entire body covered by clothing, and the sun goes only hands and face.
Studies have shown that people with low vitamin D levels accumulate more fat, although the exact explanation for this has yet been found. So you should only recommend to replenish stocks of the winter of vitamin D, eat more oily fish, and preferably about 20 minutes a day still visit the sun, exposing his face and even the neck.
And another reason, which allows us to gain weight in the winter. At this time of year we often sit at home and conduct mainly sedentary lifestyle, whiling away the winter evenings watching TV or needlework. In the spring and summer often somewhere to go, running on the beach, walk more than walking, traveling. So, it is worth to follow his mode of motor activity. Perhaps the movement is really lacking.
