(6 years ago)The average body temperature has dropped dramatically in the past 150 years, according to a new study, although there is no known what lies behind this temperature decline.

Researchers from Stanford University have discovered that human bodies are actually colder than temperatures of 37 degrees Fahrenheit [37 ° C] originally imposed by German physicist Carl Reinhold August Wingrich in 1868.
The study shows that modern men had a temperature of 0.58 degrees lower than those in the 19th century, while the body of women was 0.32 degrees lower, writes Independent, translates Periscope.
It is believed that this has been due to changes in our environment in the past 200 years that have also promoted physical changes. However, the study does not specify a lack of evidence to establish cause and effect.
Our temperature isn't what people think it is.” Said the lead author Julie Parsonnet. “What most of us have learned, which says our normal temperature is 37 degrees Fahrenheit [37 ° C] wrong. ”
The study provides a number of explanations for the drop in temperature, including the reduction in people's metabolism.
