Do you tend to run hot—or are you always freezing? Overly air-conditioned workplaces mean that many workers—disproportionately women—find that the summer heat has yielded to what some dub “women’s winter.” Whether outside or in, at home or work, studies have shown that women are more sensitive to cold. Some of that may be due to differences in clothing. The other reason is that women, on average, burn fewer calories at rest than men, which creates less internal heat. But it might not be quite so simple. Find out what science really says about people who are sensitive to cold—and how it might affect their health and productivity: https://lnkd.in/eCY_CprB
It has nothing to do with calorie burning or clothing jesus I cant belive this is discussion by national geographic....

Some of the studies I have come across show that these differences perpetuate even further during exercise with women experiencing different sensitivities to temperature even during activity.

I LOVE the cold 🥶! Not sure what you’re talking about? Hate the heat and humidity though, I’m super sensitive about that!
