Turning down the thermostat seems to make it harder for cancer cells to grow, according to a study in mice by researchers at Karolinska Institutet.
Prior research has shown that 28 degrees Celsius is generally considered a comfortable environmental temperature for most inactive humans. However, the new study published in the journal Nature, proved that cool temperatures are better for cancer patients as chilly temperatures activate heat-producing brown fat that consumes the sugars the tumors need to thrive.
