This is a YouTube video titled "Why Being Cold Can Be Good for You" containing a conversation recorded on December 1, 2019. The discussion features Ask AI Mark and another speaker talking about mitochondria, their role in energy production in the body, and the benefits of activating brown fat through cold exposure.
The mitochondria for those people, there are these little tiny things inside your cells. There can be hundreds to thousands of them and they basically take oxygen that you breathe and the food that you eat and they burn them like an engine and outside and outcomes energy, which is what runs your body in the form of ATTP. So that's what has to happen every day, every minute for you to run every chemical reaction in your.
Body, to.
Run everything that you're doing. Everything. And when that process gets.
Bunged up, you get sick. Exactly. That's very well put. Exactly. You get bunged up, especially the highly metabolic tissue. So things like the brain, the the heart are the highly dense mitochondria. And then the other thing which is new in the medical world is brown fat. So brown fat is highly packed with mitochondria. When you look at under a microscope, it actually looks brown. And brown fat is the type of fat that we have that generates heat. And in order to activate our brown fat, we need to be cold. And how many people nowadays ever get really cold? Because we always like that thermostat right at 70 degrees.
It goes to sleep. I go in the ice bath every day.
Yeah.
So right.
The temperature goes to 71, we turn on the air conditioning, it goes below, we turn on the heat. We give them this thermonuclear zone, and we never actually activate our brown fat.
