Over the winter holidays I had a few friends over.
“Damn!” said Hal, briskly rubbing his hands together as he rushed past me at the door.
“Hello, Sugah!” Hannah, the next guest said, as we hugged and she quickly threw her coat over on the sofa.
“Welcome, Joe!” I said as he tugged his coat tighter around him as he entered.
“Hey-y, Jill!” I said to the next mini-skirted coatless guest.
As the evening progressed, Hal kept his hands deep into his coat pockets.
Hannah loosen up her blouse and kicked off her shoes.
Joe pulled up his coat collar and kept his hat on.
Jill unbuttoned the sleeves of her shirt and removed her shoes, too.
Now, after that evening, I have some questions about body temperature.
Hal is overweight and so is Joe. Hannah and Jill are slim as bean stalks.
Does body mass and body fat or the lack of, have ANYTHING to do with the body’s temperature? Whether a person is hot or cold?
Does an overweight person, having more OUTER SKIN exposed to the elements determines whether that person will be hot or cold? Or does the INTERNAL MASS of body fat keeps the heat in and the cold out? Or vice versa?
Simply this: In WARM weather, is it BETTER to be fat or skinny?
In COLD weather is it BETTER to be fat or skinny???
Thanks. Please let me know.
