Shivering upon repeated short exposures to cold improves glucose tolerance, decreases fasting blood glucose and lipid levels, and markedly reduces blood pressure, show new study results in adults with obesity and overweight. he results are highly promising and may eventually suggest an alternative treatment or preventative measure for type 2 diabetes

@navika Muscle can contract mechanically — [the concept of the] shivers — thereby generating heat, and there is considerably more muscle than brown fat in a human, so shivering can burn more calories and produce more heat
