Declining Human Body Temperature

The average human body temperature has declined significantly from the historical standard of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, now estimated at around 97.5 degrees. This change, which has occurred over the last century, suggests a decrease in metabolic activity among humans, potentially linked to lifestyle changes and dietary habits, including the increased consumption of cold beverages and exposure to cold environments. The discussion points to the possibility that humans today may have a 15 to 20 percent lower basal metabolic rate compared to previous generations. This drop in temperature could reflect broader implications for individual health and metabolic efficiency.
