Women's hands are colder than men's hands

The temperature of women 's arms and legs is usually colder than that of men, and an elderly person is usually colder than young people.

>>>Why are we shaking when cold?

Most people think that the average human temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, but the truth is that different people have different "normal" temperatures. Some people have a cooler average temperature than others, while others are warmer, Mother Nature Network said.

Older people often have a lower temperature than young people. As people age, blood vessel walls lose their elasticity, resulting in poor blood flow, slower blood flow to the body's parts, making the arms and legs tend to be colder. Another cause of this phenomenon is the thinning of the subcutaneous fat layer, which acts as a heat source for the body.

Interestingly, studies show that women 's body temperature is usually higher than men (36.55 degrees Celsius compared to 36.33 degrees Celsius), but the temperature of the arms and legs is cold. than.

In 1998, researchers at the University of Utah, USA discovered that the average temperature of human hands was 32.22 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature of women 's hands was only 30.67 degrees. C, this difference may not seem like much, but it is enough to make a difference when a man holds a woman's hand.

The Inuit people who live in a year-round frosty environment appear to be shorter and stout than those who live in other climates. Their limbs are shorter, blood transports in a smaller body area, contributing to keeping the body warm.
