A large body loses heat more slowly than malenkoe



Under certain conditions, overweight people freeze is stronger than people of average weight, because the brain reads and compares the two signals at the same time - core body temperature and the temperature on the surface of the skin. So it determines that it is time for vasoconstriction to limit heat loss through the skin and cause a shiver to generate heat.

And because the body fat keeps the heat inside the fat man will remain warm, while his skin is cool. According to Katherine O'Brien, a physiologist from the Research Institute of Environmental Medicine of the US Army, the lower the temperature of the skin gives people a full feeling, which in general is cold outside.

O'Brien also noted that the rate at which cools our body is influenced by other factors not related to the subcutaneous fat. Thin people with greater body surface area in comparison with the total volume of the body loses heat faster. It is often said that women are stronger than men freeze - the average size of the body may also play a role.

Also, it can be assumed that the muscular people, too, have some protection against cooling as muscle generates much heat. It turns out that life in cold climates are best healthy and full of people.
