Experts associate this phenomenon with the characteristics of the organism. In winter, when the air temperature drops, the molecular compounds and bacteria that are associated with the accumulation of subcutaneous fat die abruptly. At the same time, special hormones responsible for brain activity begin to be produced in the intestines. The nervous system also begins to work more actively and accelerates the process of burning adipose tissue in winter.
