Can You Blame Global Warming For Those Extra Pounds?
OK, we're kidding. But maybe we're on to something:
In the summer, body weight can go up by several pounds due to increased body water. This is accomplished through fluid-conserving hormones such as aldosterone, which allows the kidney to retain more fluid and reduces the amount of salt in sweat, a measure that also aids in water retention.
- John Castellani of the U.S. Army's Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, in Scientific American's Ask the Experts
Castellani says that only exercise in hot weather will offset the increase in water weight.
