RE: Burn fat fast, Sweat fat, Tone Muscle, lose belly fat and other fitness and diet myths.
I heard people at higher elevations metabolize fat (where the air is thin) different than people at lower elevations. Do you agree?
Well, theoretically yes, when the body is subjected to lower oxygen availability as there is in high altitude the red blood cells multiply and enlarge, getting more oxygen to the muscles, however. Does that directly influence the oxidization of fat tissue? I am not sure, i looked thru some studies on pubmed, but in my opinion there is not enough evidence out there yet to back that claim.
