After all, our body’s temperature is a good indicator of if we are healthy or not.
The average temperature of a human being is commonly accepted to be 98.6F (37C).
Of course, our temperatures don’t stay the same all day.
It’s perhaps more commonly known what it means when we have a high temperature, or a fever.
Hello sick days, extra fluids, and pajamas all day!
But what does it mean if our bodies have a low temperature?
When it gets more serious is when hypothermia sets in.
“Hypothermia” is a term used to describe when the body loses too much warmth.
It can be mild, serious, or even fatal.
Common signs of hypothermia include slowed breathing, clumsiness, stumbling, and confusion.
In severe cases, doctors treat a hypothermia patients with warm saline injected into the veins.
