    How to Maintain Body Temperature

    The human body is designed to maintain a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Our skin harbors temperature receptors that notice when the temperature outside the body fluctuates. When this occurs, those receptors react like a biological Paul Revere, and shoot a warning signal to the processing center of the brain, the hypothalamus, indicating that the British are coming. The hypothalamus responds by sending in the troops, our muscles and sweat glands, which then try to hold the fort, or the core body temperature, at a constant level.

As a parent, I wish I had the power to make sure there isn’t ever a disaster that disrupts my children’s lives, at least not until they’re old enough to handle themselves. But that’s not how it works. I need to do everything I can to make sure I’ll be able to take care of them if a disaster strikes while they’re still young. That means I’ve had to acquire many … Read More
