Why do some people feel hotter than others?

If you feel too hot, the reason for this may be body temperature. Let us tell you that the body temperature of a healthy person is around 98.6°F or 37°C. Our body itself keeps controlling the temperature inside the body. This process is called thermoregulation. But it does not work properly in the bodies of some people, due to which they feel more heat. At the same time, there are some conditions in which there is a risk of increasing body temperature, due to which you may experience overheating. In such a situation, you feel more heat than others. Health experts say that the blood circulation system of our body is the main regulator of temperature. When the blood vessels in the body expand, it increases blood flow. This increases energy in the body, and you may feel more heat.

Some other reasons for feeling too hot

• Fast metabolism: Some people have a very fast metabolism, which produces more energy in their body. This can also cause excessive heat.
• Hormonal imbalance: Women may feel hotter due to hormonal changes such as menopause, pregnancy, PCOS, or periods. Apart from this, thyroid problems can also cause problems in controlling temperature. Patients suffering from hyperthyroidism also feel hotter.
• Excess fat in the body: for people who have more fat in their body, their digestion process becomes slow. Due to this, they feel more heat.
• Lack of hydration: Lack of water in the body can also cause overheating.
• Stress and anxiety: Stress and mental problems can cause excessive heat.
• Excessive use of medications: People who take excessive medications such as antibiotics, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications also feel hotter.
• Consuming too much oil and spices: For people who consume food with too much oil and spices, their heart rate increases, which makes them feel more heat.
