Heat gain
This comes from:
- Oxidation of foods
(Your feel warmer after you have eaten)
- Muscle, liver and other tissue activity
(internal metabolism)
- Hot foods and drinks
(Directly transfer heat to body by conduction)
- If there is not enough heat get involuntary muscular contraction
- Shivering.This is called thermogenesis (Heat creation). As we
get cold blood vessels on the surface of the skin contract so
less heat escapes from the skin.
