Cold weather intensifies hunger
Researchers found that cold increases feelings of hunger by activating a brain area known as the "dPVp" in the hypothalamus, which helps regulate the body's response to cold. When body temperature drops, activity in this region rises, leading to a greater desire to eat along with increased energy consumption and heat production. Despite the increased food intake in such cases, it does not result in weight gain, thanks to the activation of cells in this area, which help reduce weight gain and improve glucose regulation. Additionally, the protein "KCNK2," also known as "TREK-1," plays a role in sensing cold within these cells.
