Today, during the epidemic of the new coronavirus, fever is a major feature of the disease and has attracted widespread attention. Many medical institution conduct temperature tests on the general public to find potential patients in a timely manner. Most friends will find such a problem when measuring their body temperature. Sometimes the body temperature is high or low. What is going on? There are even studies showing that higher body temperature means stronger immunity!
High and low body temperature? Why exactly?
In fact, human body temperature has a range of values. Under normal circumstances, as long as the temperature under the human armpit is between 36 degrees and 37 degrees, it is normal. The temperature of the oral cavity and rectum will be higher, about 0.2 degrees -0.3 degrees. Then when measuring body temperature, we will find that the body temperature is sometimes 36.3 degrees, and sometimes it is 36.1 degrees. Why is this? That's because human body temperature is affected by many factors, such as age, gender, time, and emotions, which can cause fluctuations in body temperature.
Studies show that women's body temperature tends to be higher than men's, especially women's early pregnancy and early aunt. In addition, the temperature of the newborn is higher than that of the elderly. Because the newborn's body temperature is very susceptible to changes in the external temperature, and the elderly's metabolism is slow, the body temperature will be lower. It can be seen that human body temperature is affected by many factors, and when the body temperature is high or low, there is no need to panic. In general, as long as it is within the normal body temperature range, don't worry.
In the normal range, if the body temperature is high, the body's immunity will be stronger?
At present, there is not much research on the impact of high or low body temperature on immunity, but clinical studies have found that when human body temperature is high, more immune cells can be activated in the body, which can destroy the invading bacteria. This also proves to a certain extent that when the body temperature of the human body rises, it can enhance the human body's immunity.
Therefore, as long as you are in the normal temperature range, you don't need to panic when you find that your body temperature is too high. This may be a good thing to strengthen your own resistance. Especially during the current virus epidemic, good resistance can better resist the invasion of the virus. However, if you find that your body temperature is too high, or even outside the normal range, you need to be alert and contact the hospital in time.
It can be seen that those with low body temperature in the conventional range need attention and proper maintenance. In addition, you should also exercise more and exercise properly, which can also increase body temperature and enhance your own resistance.
