Stay Cool and Live Longer
An article in the New Scientist says that if we lower our body temperature, we could increase our lifespan.
"The refrigerator is used to lengthen the life of your food, and a new study suggests a similar principle could prolong your life, too.
Researchers have found that lowering the body temperature of mice by just 0.5°C extends their lifespan by around 15%. In the future, people might be able to take a drug to achieve a similar effect on body temperature and enjoy a longer life."
I don't want to spend the rest of my life shivering!
