believes that recently, everyone around them has experienced abnormal temperatures in their family and friends, or even themselves. Now is the peak period of the epidemic, so under such circumstances, human body temperature has naturally become an issue that everyone is actively paying attention to.
However, in fact, the standard body temperature of the human body has changed to a certain extent from what everyone knew before. Under normal circumstances, everyone thinks that 37°C is the standard body temperature of the human body. However, as research continues, 37°C is no longer the standard body temperature of the human body.
The judgment that the standard body temperature of the human body is 37°C dates back to 1851, when a German physician collected the armpit temperature data of several people and found that almost all of them had a temperature of 37°C. This is why it has been said that the standard temperature of the human body is 37°C, and this is used as a standard. In fact, in the medical community, a temperature above 37.7°C is regarded as a fever.
But in fact, as so many years have passed, many people are now likely to have some fever symptoms at around 37.5°C. So judging from these changes, the standard temperature of the human body is changing to a certain extent.
And this is not a single study. In recent years, many studies have concluded that the standard body temperature of the human body is further declining.
Then why does the temperature of the human body drop to a certain extent? In fact, it has spanned more than 100 years since the standard human body temperature was determined to be 37°C. During this long process, human life has changed a lot.
Whether it is the living environment, living habits, diet and medical conditions, etc., they are completely different from these, and these are most likely to be the reasons for the changes in human body temperature.
From the perspective of living environment, our environment has changed a lot now. Everyone can be satisfied with food and clothing, and heating is also provided in some cold areas, which makes the environment more suitable for the needs of the human body.
But if this was placed more than 100 years ago, people at that time mainly relied on themselves to resist some cold weather. When the weather was colder, some functional changes in the human body caused the body to self-regulate. When fever occurs, the temperature easily rises, which makes the body more adaptable to higher temperatures.
However, now that everyone can use air conditioning and heating to resist the cold wind, the body temperature can often be maintained at a less feverish state for a long time. If you are used to a lower body temperature for a long time, you may become uncomfortable when the temperature is slightly higher, resulting in some adverse symptoms caused by fever.
Secondly, in terms of eating habits, everyone's eating habits are very healthy now. Under such circumstances, the body is rarely harmed by some bacteria .
However, more than 100 years ago when humans were not so particular about dietary health, the human body was easily exposed to more bacteria, and the immune system was operating more frequently, which was also accompanied by an increase in body temperature. This situation would also make the human body more adaptable to a higher temperature environment than it is now, so in fact, changes in human body temperature should also have a lot to do with changes in everyone's current eating habits.
Finally, the more important point is the change in medical conditions. Today's medical conditions are very advanced, and many basic diseases can be treated in time. Especially for symptoms such as fever caused by colds, drugs can be used to relieve the symptoms in time. To a certain extent, the body temperature will not continue to rise and be maintained in a relatively stable "low temperature" state. Without the continuous increase in temperature, the body's temperature will naturally be maintained at a lower state.
So in fact, the reduction of the human body's standard body temperature is very closely related to the development of our times. Whether it is our living environment, diet and residence, our habits will have a certain impact on it. This is a process of human beings' long-term adaptation to the environment.So does the decrease in human body temperature cause any huge harm to us?
In fact, changes in the body's standard body temperature will have some detailed effects, but in terms of physical health, it will not obviously cause much harm.
If it really has any impact, it is that when the standard temperature is high, if the body's temperature is too low, it may sometimes affect the judgment of physical health.
However, everyone has a better understanding of the different changes in human body temperature with different physiques, and can also make more correct judgments about the body. With the continuous progress of scientific research, the definition of human body standard body temperature will now be further updated.
