A weight loss question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: Obesity seems more common in higher latitudes where sunlight is relatively weak. Also I have noticed that I lose weight during summer holidays. I'd like to know if exercising outdoors in bright light might do me more good (in terms of weight control) than exercising indoors in relatively dim light. Is there some kind of hormone effect connecting light and appetite levels, or some other plausible mechanism?
Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…You are actually asking two questions.
1.) Q: Can sun exposure help with weight loss? A: YES - this is due to the affects of vitamin D production and ultimatley hormone regulation.

2.) Q: Why are people in higher latitudes heavier? A:Besides the fact that they spend less time outside because of the cold winters, the issue also stems from evolution. People who's ancestors come from colder climates tend to have more trunk weight. This was so that they could protect the vital organs by insulating them with fat during cold months. People in warmer climates tend to have their weight more in the extremities. Phillipines and the islands. This is to keep the fat insulation away from the body organs so they don't overheat.
Great question!
yes and sitting on your chair reduces cellulite!!!!

There might be something in the source article. Bright light is being used for people who get depressed from Seasonal Affect Disorder.

You need to work out, eat right, and go to the tanning both nearest you. The tanning will keep you up and the emotion that you are looking for to get fit. Where your lotions and bepro health and do what is right for your body. Its the only one you will get and the only one you will every know. Take care of yourself and it will pay off when you are much older…

Certainly does work! Just sit in a bright light for one week without eating and you will definitely lose weight.

actually, the sun can provide the body with a "happy chemical" that you might also get from eating. Specialist recommend eating while in the sun might lead you to eat less!! But please, don't burn yourself, just get a half hour a day.
