Know the SOS signs from your body temperature

A healthy body temperature varies from person to person, but is generally considered to be around 36.6℃ to 37.2℃.
In addition, the average body temperature of Japanese people is 36.8℃, and it is said that about 70% of people fall within this range.

Fever

According to the Infectious Diseases Act, a fever is defined as a temperature of 37.5°C or higher . If this temperature is higher than your normal body temperature, it is possible that you have a fever.

Hypothermia

On the other hand, if your normal body temperature is below 36°C, it is considered hypothermia , which can lead to poor blood flow, autonomic nervous system disorders, allergies, constipation, obesity, and other ailments and illnesses.

What is Immunity?

It is said that "once you have had an infectious disease, you will not be infected a second time (and the symptoms will only be mild)," and this is the ability called "immunity."

Infectious diseases are most likely to become severe the first time a person is infected with a pathogen, so in order to protect oneself from future infections, it is important that the body has immunity to the pathogen in advance.

Major types of immunity and their functions

There are two main types of immunity: "innate immunity" and "acquired immunity."
Innate immunity is the immunity we are born with.
On the other hand, adaptive immunity refers to acquired immunity, which occurs when the body reacts to a foreign substance again after having experienced that reaction once.

natural immunity

Innate immunity is the immunity we are born with and it works quickly to react to foreign substances that enter the body.
This natural immunity is the mechanism by which the body detects and attacks pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that enter the body from the outside.
Cells involved in innate immunity mainly include neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, and dendritic cells .

neutrophil

When a virus or other foreign substance enters the body, the first thing it does is eliminate the foreign substance.
Neutrophils have receptors for detecting bacteria and viruses and have the ability to select targets for attack. In addition, because they can move within tissues, they can respond quickly to foreign substances.

Macrophages

Like neutrophils, they devour and break down enemies.
Due to their voracious nature, they have the tendency to even eat neutrophils during combat.

Health risks of hypothermia

Hypothermia poses the following health risks to the body:

  • Weakened immune system
  • Poor circulation and high blood pressure
  • Indigestion/loss of appetite
  • Slow metabolism
  • Decreased physical strength (getting tired easily)
  • Decreased motivation and concentration
