[b][ROCKPORT, 12/19/2017][/b] - Various studies have proven the benefits of exercising during wintertime. According to Fitness Magazine, doing physical activities while exposed to cold weather can turn white fat (excess fat) into healthy brown fat that burns calories.

However, the low temperature hinders people from getting physically active. A study conducted by the University of Michigan found that 95% of their subjects delayed exercising in winter weather conditions.

People are also more likely to catch illnesses during winter. According to a study published in Nature Research Journal, a quarter of humans' DNA changes with the seasons. During the winter season, genes that trigger inflammation are more active which make the body more susceptible to colds and flu.

Another study added that sickness happens more frequently during the winter since people are forced to stay indoors. Cold, dry air indoors allows cold viruses to spread especially in stuffy, unventilated rooms.

[b]The Benefits of Mild Winter Weather[/b]

Mild winter encourages people to go outside and get fit. Apart from developing more brown fat, mild winter combines the metabolism benefits of cold temperature with vitamin D provided by sunshine.

Exercising in cold weather has also posed benefits on the immune system, studies showed. Swimming in cold water increases the white blood cells, helping the body build strong defenses.

Traveling is also safer during mild winters. USA Today reported that winter car accidents nearly killed 4,000 Americans over the past five years. Among these numbers, about 800 Americans died in winter-related car crashes. Regions with mild winter are not affected and do not have to tread through heavy snow and icy roads.
