You may dread the end of summer, but the drop in temperature could help you burn more fat while working out, according to one researcher. 

It's all thanks to a peptide found in our muscles called sarcolipin, or SLN, according toMuthu Periasamy, PhD, a researcher at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute.

Scientists already knew that the higher your body's SLN function, the lower your risk of obesity. They also knew that SLN was activated by exercise. Periasamy and his team delved deeper, and found that cold temperatures also activate your body's SLN.
