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!
