Cold-induced shivering for metabolic health
by Rodrigo Fernández-Verdejo & Jose E. Galgani 12/06/2024 Nature Metabolism
This proof-of-concept study shows that 1 hour of cold exposure with shivering for 10 consecutive days improves glucose tolerance and other metabolic health outcomes in humans with overweight or obesity.
TIL Fifteen minutes of shivering from cold temperatures can be the metabolic equivalent of 1 hour of exercise.

Can Shivering Help Burn Fat?
by The Health Sciences Academy
White adipose tissue stores energy. It is the type of fat that one can see. It also pads our internal organs acting as a thermal insulator and cushion.
Don't curse the cold: Shivering may help burn body fat
Shivering's weight-loss upside is linked to a hormone produced by the body's muscles, according to research from the National Institutes of Health published in the journal Cell Metabolism. When a body trembles from the cold it releases irisin, also known as the "exercise hormone," which stimulates fat tissue to produce heat so the body can maintain its core temperature.
Benefits of Cold Exposure, Shivering & Brown Fat | Dr. Susanna Søberg & Dr. Andrew Huberman
by Huberman Lab Clips 2024 YouTube
Dr. Susanna Søberg and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the intricate pathways linking cold exposure to the activation of brown fat, explaining how cold receptors in the skin signal the brain's temperature regulating center, leading to increased neurotransmitters and direct activation of brown fat.
Shivering thermogenesis in humans: Origin, contribution and metabolic requirement
by National Library of Medicine
As endotherms, humans exposed to a compensable cold environment rely on an increase in thermogenic rate to counteract heat lost to the environment, thereby maintaining a stable core temperature. This review focuses primarily on the most important contributor of heat production in cold-exposed adult humans, shivering skeletal muscles. Specifically, it presents current understanding on (1) the origins of shivering, (2) the contribution of shivering to total heat production and (3) the metabolic requirements of shivering.
Shivering unlocks new way of fighting fat
by Francesc Villarroya 5/2/14 THE CONVERSATION
Shivering is not an activity many of us enjoy. We do it because we are cold and uncomfortable. But perhaps the news that it could have some of the same benefits as moderate bouts of exercise will stop us running in from the cold so quickly. Researchers have found that the act of shivering can stimulate the conversion of energy-storing “white fat” into energy-burning “brown fat”.
The Surprising Benefits of Shivering
by Joseph Watso 20/2/25 ENNETTCARBY
Shivering can begin within seconds of significant cold exposure to help the body maintain homeostasis—in other words, it keeps you alive when your body is at risk of freezing.
Shiver Your Way to Weight Loss? It Might Work, But Don’t Try It
by IRA DREYFUSS 10/1/1993 Los Angeles Times
“Shivering is a workout,” said Ira Jacobs, head of the environmental physiology section of Canada’s Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine, Toronto. “But I wouldn’t advise that. If you are shivering, you are cold, and you run the risk of hypothermia.”
Shivering, Like Exercise, May Help Boost Weight Loss, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study
If frigid weather is making you shiver, there’s an upside -- it might also help you burn calories. Both moderate shivering and moderate exercise may convert bad white fat into healthier brown fat, a new study says. White fat stores calories while brown fat burns them. For example, 50 grams of white fat stores more than 300 calories of energy, while the same amount of brown fat can burn up to 300 calories a day, explained researchers who conducted the study at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The More Fit You Are, the Better You Shiver

Discover how exercise and shivering help keep you warm in cold temperatures and the science behind muscle energy use for warmth.
Out in the cold
by Harvard Health Publishing 1/1/10
Winter and its chilly temperatures are a mixed blessing when it comes to human health. We might not appreciate it at the time, but cold temperatures perform a great public health service by killing off disease-mongering insects and microorganisms, and one of the big worries about climate change is that winter will lose its pestilence-fighting punch. Although it's a bit theoretical, cold weather may also help us slim down by stimulating metabolically active brown fat. And in Scandinavia and Russia, many people actively seek out the cold: wintertime swimming in frigid water is believed to do health wonders, and there's some science (not much, but some) suggesting that it might be so.
Does Shivering Count As Exercise?
by Amanda MacMillan 7/3/14 Outside
There’s at least one potential benefit to extreme winter weather: Shivering appears to torch significant calories by converting energy-storing white fat to energy-burning brown fat.
Don't Curse the Cold: Shivering May Help Burn Body Fat
by BRENDAN MCDERMID 5/2/14 NBC NEWS
If you’re looking for a silver lining in the cold-fest that is Winter 2014, look no further than your waistline. Shivering may be as good as exercise to help you drop a few pounds, a new study finds.
Do You Burn More Calories in the Cold?
When you’re cold, your body has to work harder to maintain its temperature. This increased effort can cause a surge in calorie burn, but how exactly does it work?
