Body thermostat makes you shiver

-

One of the most important senses measures your temperatur­e, which should be 36.4-37.1 °C, - the temperatur­e at which most of the body’s enzymes work most efficientl­y. The hypothalam­us brain region controls your temperatur­e and regulates metabolism, blood flow, and sweat production based on data from sensors in the skin, etc. If you are too cold, the hypothalam­us makes the muscles, etc., tremble, producing extra heat.
