Administrator King Offline Gender: Posts: 5810 ~Back with a bang~ Things You Must Know About Your Body Temperature
Body temperature is an important
indicator of our health. What is
normal body temperature? What
part of the body gives the most
accurate readings? Find out the
answers to these and other
questions regarding body
temperature.
1.Your body is a great thermo
regulator.
Our body has an amazing ability to
keep its temperature within safe
range to keep you healthy, no
matter what conditions you are
exposed to outside the body. When
you feel hot, you start sweating,
which cools you body down. When
you feel cold, you start shivering,
which is involuntary muscle
contractions that generate heat.
Goose bumps that appear on skin
when you are feeling cold are
actually tiny muscles that raise body
hairs, which increase their
thickness.
2. Normal body temperature
It is commonly accepted that
normal human body temperature is
98.6 degrees F or 37 degrees C.
However, there is also a number of
variations to normal body
temperature that depend on many
factors, such as the time of the day,
outside temperature, age of the
person and others. Temperature
may vary by 1 degrees F (0.6
degrees C), from 97 degrees F (36.1
degrees C) to 99 degrees F (37.2
degrees C), which is considered
within normal range.
3. The body temperature varies
throughout the day
Body temperature undergoes minor
changes throughout the day. It is
the lowest in the morning, between
4 and 6 a.m. And highest in the
evening, around 6 to 8 p.m.
Temperature also changes during
sleep. Usually it starts to drop when
we fall asleep, ensuring sound
sleep and needed rest.
4. Rectal temperature – most
accurate
Body temperature is measured with
the help of different types of
thermometers in various parts of
the body. Temperature taken in
your mouth may be influenced by
many factors and is usually lower,
while rectal and ear measurements
are slightly higher than oral
temperature readings.
Temperature taken in your armpit
may me the least accurate since it
may not directly indicate core
temperature. The most accurate
way to measure body temperature
is to take temperature rectally.
5. Fever is good for you
Many of us are scared of fever and
try to reduce fever with
medications. However, fever is not
an illness, but the body's defense
mechanism that fights infections
and is basically harmless. Fever
slows the growth of pathogenic
bacteria and activates white blood
cells to fight infection. Fever may
range between 100 degrees to 104
degrees F and higher (37.8 degrees
– 40 degrees C), but not all of them
need to be treated with
medications. The general rule of
thumb is that fever medicines are
necessary when it causes you or
your child discomfort or there are
other dangerous signs such as
trouble breathing or pain.

Good morning
One lesson we must all learn in our
lives is that things can always change.
Sure, we will always remember how
things used to be, and we will
sometimes lose sight of our future
because we want to turn around and
re-live moments from our past, but
there must come a time in which we
accept that things have changed. One
thing that we must all note in life is that
we cannot undo the parts of our lives
that have changed, and that may cause
us to regret now.
We can't always go back and undo the
pain that we have caused others and
ourselves, we cannot always mend the
hearts that we break back together.
What we can do though, is make an
effort to live the best life that we
possibly can, and to vow to always be
better, and to do better than we ever
did in the past. Your past is your past,
and no matter what you do you cannot
change it, but you can create a better
future as long as you give effort within
every waking moment of your
life.

Love
Loving someone don't need any
reason; it doesn't matter having the
age gaps, on how you look like, or the
way you move or speak, and on what
other people say...
What matters is.. how you LOVE each
other, how you NEED each other and
how HAPPY you are when you're
together.
That's love - no reason at all, no
definition, and definitely
unending..♥♥
Good morning
An experienced & wise master grew
tired of his apprentice complaining.
One morning he sent the apprenticefor
some salt.
When the apprentice returned, the
master instructed the unhappy young
man to put a handful of salt in a glass
of water and drink it.
"How does it taste?" the master asked.
"Bitter," spit the apprentice.
The master chuckled and then asked
the young man to put a handful of Salt
in the lake nearby.
The two walked to the nearby lake.
After the apprentice swirled his
Handful of salt into the water, the old
man said, "Now drink from the lake.."
As the water dripped down the young
man's chin, the master asked, "Now
How does this taste?"
"Fresh & Sweet" remarked the
apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the
master.
"No," said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside the
young man who so reminded him of
Himself at one time and held his
hands.
He told the young man, "The pain of
life is pure salt; no more, no less.
The amount of pain in life remains
exactly the same. However, the
amount of bitterness we taste depends
on the container we put the pain in.
So when you are in pain, the only thing
you can do is to enlarge your sense of
things . . .
"Stop being a glass. Become a lake."
