Take a cold shower

洗冷水澡

According to the experts, a cold shower puts stress on the body, working like exercise to stimulate it. Scientists found that shivering stimulates the conversion of energy-storing “white fat” into energy-burning “brown fat”.

专家指出，洗冷水澡为身体施加了压力，其效果就像通过锻炼来刺激身体一样。科学家发现，打冷战有助于把储存能量的“白色脂肪”转化为消耗能量的“棕色脂肪”。

Don’t get into sleep debt

确保睡眠充足

Missing just 30 minutes of sleep per day on weekdays can lead to obesity, say scientists. Because of social and work commitments, people often accumulate sleep debt during weekdays and make up for lost sleep over the weekend. But this may lead to long-term metabolic disruption, which can promote the onset, or exacerbate the progression, of type 2 diabetes.

科学家表示，在工作日每天只少睡30分钟就可能导致肥胖。因为社交和工作上的投入，人们在工作日往往睡眠不足，然后在周末补觉，但是这样会导致长期代谢紊乱，致使人们患上二型糖尿病或使病情恶化。
