Air Conditioning and Pollution are Making us Fat

That's interesting. Where did you get this information? That sounds bogus.

Im sorry but I dont get this one.

is this a fact? where did you get the info? i just wonder how pollution makes us fat if it cause sickness to many. aircondioning got its point, maybe thats the reason why people go to sauna and gym to burn fats.

I live in a heavily polluted city and spend most of the time in the air-conditioned enviornment but yet i am an under weighted man!

hmm...i really dont know...im trying to think logical and i think that acctualy the polluation is making us a lil fat...

really?i think we are not let out heat metabolites occur coz aircond make our fat comfort..hehe.. //

good to know that,nice of you that you got the idea to tell every1 about it

I think the reason we are getting fatter is because we eat more "junk" or "fatty" foods plus exercise less. In the winter or cooler months people do eat more heavier types of foods and do exercise less, but I don't think that has anything to do with the heating. I don't have air conditioning although we do use fans when it gets really hot. Also we do not turn on the gas heater very often instead tend to rug up a little bit more, but we still eat different foods in winter than in the warmer months.

I think that you are on to something my grand parents used to tell us as kids drink room temperature water and you will stay cooler and if you drink cold stuff in the winter you don't get cold near as fast and they are right I do that I am able to tolerate hot temperature pretty good and cold fairly well so why you sit to stay cool or warm you are not burning calories which leads to obesity so that is how some people end up with excess weight.

My husband actually told me this news this past summer. Nobody believes us when we tell them but hey, who wants to be told they are fat and or what could bee the could. Mind you we never came out and said anyone was fat just the facts about it. I guess the truth hurt. I won't buy an airconditioner now for that reason. I have four children and there health to think about..

hey i did not know that... thanks for the info :-) but i still think the main culprit is diet...

This information sounds stupid..i don't beleive it. Pollution just makes us fall sick, i wonder how it makes us fat. please give us the link from where you found this info if it is any true.

That sounds interesting,I think it makes sense and we have to change mode to use energy

I think that makes sense.. in winter we store food as our bodies should be working harder to kepp us warm. I haven't had the heating on yet .. so I'm feeling quite skinny!

Well, that makes sense. Also, if our bodies feel cool ther may be a chemical in our brain that tells us to eat more because winter is coming and the food supply might be less. I don't know, it is just a thought that goes along with what you are saying.
