What If Your Body Didn't Get Enough Heat?

• Body loses most heat from breathing as warm air is exhaled form the lungs and cold air is inhaled with cools the internals of the lungs.
• It can lose the heat by coming in direct contact with cold objects, water or floor.
• It can lose the heat via freezing winds which can touch the body.
