One study shows that one-third of couples disagree about the ideal temperature in the house, and that four out of ten women secretly raise the temperature at home from their partner. Research shows that women are comfortable in a room that is on average 2.5 degrees warmer than men.
This is exactly why you can’t agree on the water temperature when you shower together. According to the studies of scientists, the reason for this situation is related to the muscle ratio in our body.
When the heat management of men and women is examined, it is seen that men are more advantageous.
Because muscles make up 40% of a man’s body over total body weight. When a man works a muscle, he spends 1/3 of his energy on work. The rest of the energy is dissipated as heat. In other words, our muscles are the heater of our body.
The proportion of muscle in the female body is only 23%, almost half that of the male.
As a result, the woman’s body heating is relatively weak. Heat loss is also an important factor. The surface area of our body is responsible for this. You shrink when you’re cold, don’t you? So you reduce your surface area.
Thus, you will emit less heat to the environment. Here, too, there is a difference between men and women. Females have more surface area than males if they are the same size. So it emits more heat.
High heat loss, poor heating system; not convenient at all. But the female body reacts to it.
In order to keep the vital organs and the brain at 37 degrees Celsius, less blood goes to other body parts, such as the arms, legs and nose. In this way, heat is directed to the center of the body.
When the weather gets colder, the capillaries in women’s feet shrink more quickly. Where blood does not go, heat does not go.
The temperature of the toes can drop as low as 8 degrees. The cold feet of women is a survival strategy created by nature. Fortunately, you have lovers to hold and warm your hands. Of course if there is. . .
