A lot of comments here blame obesity/sedentary lifestyles/junk food for low body temperature. Let’s look at this:
Obesity: raises temperature
exercise: lowers resting temperature
junk food: raises temperature
What if it’s the reverse? What if your desire to eat and not exercise had a lot to do with being cold?
Frankly I’m not buying the arguments in the article. Occam’s razor says it’s a common nutritional deficiency or environmental toxin affecting the thyroid.
- jl2718 7y agoAnecdote: I’ve been getting noticeably colder every year for no natural reason, so I’ve tried many things: fish oil, iodine etc. The only thing that worked was iron. I took 600mg ferrous gluconate with 5g vitamin C, and I was sweating hot and felt amazing for the next 24 hours. Iron overdose can be deadly and irreversible, so I have not repeated this and do not recommend it.
