  1. Research shows that body temperature significantly influences time perception! 🔥 Higher temperatures can speed up our internal clock, making time feel like it's flying by. Conversely, cooler temps may slow it down. 🥶 This fascinating link highlights how our physiology affects our cognitive processes and decision-making. 🧠💡 #TimePerception #BodyTemperature #ScienceFacts

  7. I've been thinking a lot about finding that human body temperature has been decreasing since the Industrial Revolution for a while now.
    elifesciences.org/articles/495

    Today I say a post about rising CO2 and wondered what effect ambient CO2 might have on Na/K ATPase. While we are taught that heat is generated in the mitochondrion via futile cycling of protons across the mt. membrane, Na/K ATPase activity also contributes. Ectotherms have lower Na/K ATPase activity than endotherms.

    So I wondered if CO2 levels affect Na/K ATPase activity, and I found this -
    pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/

    Unfortunately I don't have time to read the article and it may be weeks before I can read it.

    CO2 levels have been increasing since the Industrial Revolution, Na/K ATPase activity is reduced by CO2 ( in lung epithelium) - could rising CO2 levels be causing the decrease in body temperature?
    It's an interesting idea, but I would have to study a lot more to be able to gauge its plausibility.

    If there is something to it - it seems like it would be a big deal, just like the decrease in body temperature is, IMO, a big deal.

  9. In the future, #wearables will take over the monitoring of body functions as well as record clinical symptoms. These parameters include #heartRate and variability, #bodyTemperature, #bloodOxygen levels, #respirationRate and the concentration of metabolites such as #glucose. Thus, health management of one's body becomes possible, as well as monitoring of endogenous infections. A new review on the topic has been published in #mdpiBiosensors.

  11. TIL that an Apple Watch 8 or Ultra can measure how the temperature of your wrist fluctuates over time during sleep. See Apple Support article linked. Mine was 0.2°C above my normal baseline last night. #AppleWatch #BodyTemperature
