Normal body temperature is not what you know

According to recent tests on normal body temperature, it has been reduced since the 19th century.

Most of us only measure our fever when we have fever as a result of colds or infections. But body temperature can be affected by many other factors, such as life - style, age, and environmental temperature, can affect the way the body distributes heat. Researchers explain that body temperature shows the standard of metabolicism, linked to body life expectancy and size.

Some of the researchers' findings include:

Today, the body temperature of men is an average of 0.159 °C than that of a 19th - century man.

- The body temperature of women has decreased by 0.32 °C from 1980 to today.

Analysis found a 0.03 °C drop in average temperature every decade.

What we've been taught as we grow up to normal body temperature (37°C) is wrong. ”Says Dr. Julie Parsonent, a medical professor and author of the study.
However, because of gender, time, day, and age, everyone's temperature can change.

What caused this decline in normal body temperature is that we're different from what we've been in the past. The environment in which we live has changed, including temperature in our home, contact with microorganisms and food we eat.

Furthermore, Dr. Parsons believe that the average metabolic rate indicating how much energy our bodies use has declined over time. This decrease may have been caused by a drop in inflammation.

Recently, air conditioning and rising temperatures across the globe have brought about a steady temperature of the environment, making energy consumption unnecessary to maintain the same body temperature.
