Temperature and Metabolism Quiz

It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature in order to keep the body working efficiently and to prevent it from having to work too hard to maintain a constant temperature. Staying hydrated and wearing loose-fitting clothing during the summer months can help keep the body cool. During the winter months, dressing in layers and staying warm can help keep the metabolism healthy.

When the temperature is too hot, our bodies tend to lose their appetite which can lead to weight gain if we don’t make up for the lost calories with healthy snacks. On the other hand, when the temperature is too cold, our bodies tend to crave high-calorie foods to help keep us warm.
