Can air conditioning make you fat?
Yes, along with over-medication of anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, contraceptives and antihistamines, which all can cause users to put on pounds.
According to a recent US study reported in the International Journal of Obesity, biology linked the growing problem of obesity and the prevalence of air conditioning over the past three decades.
Mammals use up more energy to maintain their bodies at an acceptable temperature and
the more time humans spend in a climate-controlled environment, the less their bodies have to work. People also tend to eat less when they’re hot.
The researchers urged their colleagues to focus on some of the unexamined causes of obesity, and not so much on fast food and lack of exercise.
