Brown Fat

[Binnie]

Has anyone ever considered introducing themselves to cold exposure,

i saw something on TV years ago where some old punter went swimming in the sea every morning, he looked chunky, but it was a layer of "brown fat"

the same layer we have as infants.

this guy, a retired gent, could swim in the water in winter as long as he wanted, in temps that would likely kill most of us in 5 minutes.

MY thinking is that it would lessen my reliance on external heat sources, helping me tolerate severe winters and inclement weather?
