Keeping a busy social life amongst lots of friends may keep people slimmer than spending hours on a treadmill, according to scientists.
They say that socialising and meeting with friends helps boost levels of ‘brown fat’ in the body which burns calories to generate heat.
Living in a stimulating, social environment was found to reduce abdominal fat in mice by half over four weeks, even if they ate more.
Fun and friendship may be among the secrets of staying slim, new research has suggested.
Studies of mice showed that living in a dynamic social environment caused them to generate a healthy type of fat that burns up calories.
