If you work in an office, you might want to turn up the heat! Or at least, keep a blanket nearby. That’s because scientists say cold temperatures in the workplace could potentially lead to weight gain. They say the average office keeps the thermostat at 70 but, according to them that’s too low. But, anywhere between 72 and 81 will boost the metabolic rate, which is how fast we burn calories.
