A diet that suggests you don\u2019t need dietary or lifestyle changes is realistically too good to be true. Let\u2019s see what the science says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Science_Says_About_Ice_Hacks_%E2%80%93_The_Biology\"><\/span><b>What Science Says About Ice Hacks &#8211; The Biology<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every ice hack to lose weight finds its premise in a 2020 study (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6946399\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The study suggests that the average core body temperature has declined by 0.03\u00b0C every decade since the 1800s. How does this promote ice hacks? Let\u2019s share some biology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Cold-Induced_Thermogenesis_Theory_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>What Is the Cold-Induced Thermogenesis Theory for Weight Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent research states that cold-induced thermogenesis is the process of using cold temperatures to alter the functions of energy consumption in brown adipose tissue (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fendo.2020.00222\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specific fat cell type that burns energy (calories) to generate heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese researchers suggest that diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) may also promote an increased metabolic rate and brown fat cell energy consumption. However, this recent research shows a list of ingredients that may promote DIT (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fendo.2020.00222\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capsaicin found in chilis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific tea catechins and caffeine<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relationship between your sympathetic nervous system\u2019s chem-esthetic receptors explains how certain ingredients may promote DIT. However, the small effect of DIT can easily be outweighed when a high-fat or high-calorie diet accompanies the above ingredients.

The cold activates the SNS to encourage the BAT cells to consume more energy and calories. It also promotes more fat-burning in white adipose tissue (WAT).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Hemsworth\u2019s swim in the icy waters was one example of cold exposure therapy. Another example is wrapping ice patches around specific body parts or applying ice packs to your belly or thighs. Ice bath submersion is another famous ritual to practice this method.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various methods exist to use cold exposure therapy. Although cold exposure can activate brown fat, we don\u2019t know how this might relate to weight loss, and cold exposure can have its downsides.

Unfortunately, cryotherapy has many contraindications and potential side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cryotherapy may lead to hypothermia, impaired cognitive functions, and restricted blood flow. Anyone with Raynaud\u2019s Disease, open wounds, circulation problems, or underlying health conditions should avoid using cryotherapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people also use the Wim Hof Method, combining ice baths with specific breathing strategies.
