Is our skin or body temp still elevated? Or do we just have some “inertia” in our body cooling systems?
In: Biology
Just guessing but it may be some sort of defense/self preservation mechanism that protects us if we go from one extreme temperature to the opposite extreme temperature in a short amount of time. Maybe?
The water in your body is still warm. Your body has a rate of cooling through perspiration which can only go so fast.
We can only lose heat through the skin, but have heat ‘stored’ throughout the body. This means that all the excess heat needs to make its way to the skin before it is lost to the environment. As you can imagine, this will take some time, which is why you will feel hot and sweaty for some time after exercise.
our body like every other machinery heats up when used and takes time to cool off. pores on skin let the sweat out to expel the heat. lesser the humidity in the environment faster it cools off.
