minus-squarejet@hackertalks.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 year agoImmunity is a strong word. You can acclimate to different environments and temperatures. Brown fat tissue can be increased when exposed to cold temperatures over a long period of time, in a form of adaptation. This type of fat helps produce heat, keeping you warmer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_adipose_tissue There is truth to the jokes of Minnesotans wearing shorts on the same day Floridian’s would wear winter clothes.
