Research reveals how COLD THERAPY can address diabetes

 In a world where diabetes treatments often involve costly medications with varying success, a groundbreaking discovery from Maastricht University (UM) in the Netherlands suggests a far simpler solution: cold exposure.

Researchers found that diabetic patients who spent six hours daily in moderately cool temperatures (57 to 59 F) for just 10 days saw a staggering 43 percent improvement in insulin sensitivity. Its effects match the benefits of months of intense exercise. This revelation challenges modern medicine's reliance on pharmaceuticals, pointing instead to an ancient, overlooked metabolic regulator: The body's response to cold.

Hidden within the human body is a unique type of fat called brown adipose tissue (BAT), which behaves unlike the stubborn white fat that stores excess calories. BAT actively burns glucose and fatty acids to generate heat when activated by cold.

Studies consistently link higher BAT activity to better metabolic health, including reduced diabetes risk. Yet, modern life with its climate-controlled homes and offices has effectively silenced this natural defense mechanism...<<<Read More>>>...
