Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Diabetes is no joke.
It can slowly destroy your health— and all the mainstream has to offer are life-wrecking pills or painful injections.
But you deserve a better way to treat this devastating disease.
Fortunately, researchers from the Netherlands have just found a drug-free way to stop diabetes before it gets the best of your golden years.
And the best part — it requires no prescriptions and you can start today.
I’m talking about spending a little more time in the cold.
Let me explain…
For years, scientists have known that exposing the body to cool or cold environments has positive effects on your metabolism.
But this most recent study had some truly mind-blowing results.
For the experiment, scientists exposed a group of diabetic patients to mildly cold temperatures (around 70 degrees F, on the lower side of room temperature) intermittently.
Before and after the trial, they measured the participants’ insulin resistance, one of the key drivers of diabetes.
And what they found was incredible…
After just 10 short days of mild cold exposures, the participants’ insulin resistance was improved by a whopping 40 percent — making short bursts of cold just as effective as the best drugs Big Pharma has to offer.
Even better, these temperature variations can also improve your heart health.
Experts report cold temps increase your metabolism and energy expenditure, which can help shield your body from obesity and diabetes.
And all you have to do is turn up your A/C or crack a window on a chilly day!
Another easy way to get your metabolism going is with a cold shower. Many studies have shown that short cold-water exposures can help activate a certain type of fat that helps regulate your metabolism.
Live well,
