Hot sweats

[codswallop]

What is it about the human body,that a nice sunny day to some people is very hot,to some it's warm but comfortable but to some it can seem quite cool??

It's about tolerance levels and other people's normal body temperatures. I work with someone who is always cold, whereas I rarely am - makes controlling the office temperature quite difficult - I'm in a vest and she's got a hotwater bottle under her jumper!

There;s going to be a medical explanation (thalmus? not sure of this one) of this but in laymen's terms I would say depends on the individuals make up, thyroid problems, and other related things that control how our body reacts to temperature.

That was quick.I understand what you are saying but what is it that makes the difference in tolerance levels? Blood ,flesh, bone structure???? Thanks!!

Just looked up and it's the hypothalamus that controls temperature (if I read it correctly), I personally don't think it's to do with flesh, fat or thin etc but I'm sure someone will come along and give you more info.

Thanks for that Daisya,I'll just have to look up hypothalamus to see how it works!!
