Well I hope this doesn't mean I have to move to Alaska... I might as well start getting my affairs together because I HATE the cold weather.
Researchers say 'Chill Out' if you want to live longer! Of, and that body temperature can have a bigger impact on your lifespan than your metabolism.
An international team says their study examined the real-world connections to the phrase “live fast, die young.”
As an expression it actually refers to animals that have a higher metabolic rate dying sooner than those with a slower metabolism. Simply put, these species burn themselves out faster.
**Sorry to bringdown the room!
So, what’s the real secret to living a long life?
Researchers say the key may be how changes in metabolism affect an individual’s body temperature. Typically, having a lower metabolic rate also lowers body temperature.
OK... I'm starting to feel better already... I'm not hot at all... I mean temperature...
In the new study, researchers exposed mice and hamsters to high temperatures, causing their metabolisms to fall as their body temperatures went up.
Researchers found that warmer rodents with lower metabolism did not lengthen their lives but in fact had the opposite.
In the next step of the study, researchers used small fans to blow cool air over the animals living the high temps.
Although this didn’t change their metabolism, researchers say it prevented the mice and hamsters from having a high body temperature.
Under these conditions, the animals did not suffer from a shortened lifespan.
AWESOME! I sleep with a fan all the time... I'm gonna live to at least 150!
The study authors conclude that body temperature appears to have a much more important role in determining lifespan than metabolic rate — creating the saying “live cold, die old.”
**Not sure that has the ring that live fast die young does...
OK... time for me to go heat up part of a cow to about medium rare and see how long that survives... Fan or not!
