All people from an early age know that 36.6 ° C is the normal temperature of the human body. If the mark on the thermometer deviates significantly from this figure, then we suspect that there may be health problems. However, not everyone thought about why this indicator is usually considered the norm. More logically, if the value was 20 ° C. At the moment, scientists have put forward 2 theories that can to some extent answer this question.

The first theory is called water. As you know, all living creatures on the planet Earth are composed of about 80%. It is water that accumulates heat for both living organisms and the entire planet. The greatest amount of heat emits the Pacific Ocean. But with this liquid, not everything is as simple as it might seem. The rate of heating of water is much higher if its temperature all the time varies from 36 to 42 ° C. Moreover, under such conditions, much less energy is required for heating. It is for this reason that the temperature of all living organisms is within these limits.

The second theory is fungal. A number of specialists in the field of physics and biology are convinced that warm-blooded animals could survive only because their body temperature reaches 36 ° C. Scientists explained that on our planet there are more than one billion different fungi that parasitize on all living things, including humans.

We do not die just because the colonies of fungi can not survive on the surface of the body exceeding 35 ° C.

However, the normal body temperature is not really an accurate concept. Not all healthy people, it is exactly 36.6 ° C. During the whole day, the temperature can vary. For example, in the morning hours it can be equal to 35.8 ° C, t. in this period of time the body is still "asleep". By the end of the day, it can rise to 37 ° C. And this is not considered a deviation from the norm.
