Introduction
Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of 37.5°C should be evaluated based on various factors such as time of day, activity level, and environment. A temperature of 37.5°C may be considered abnormal if accompanied by physical discomfort or a feeling of internal heat. However, it can be normal if it reflects an individual's baseline higher temperature or a physiological rise in body temperature. It is recommended to eat more vitamin-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits.
Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of 37.5°C should be evaluated based on various factors such as time of day, activity level, and environment. A temperature of 37.5°C may be considered abnormal if accompanied by physical discomfort or a sensation of internal heat. However, if an individual's baseline temperature is naturally higher or if the increase is due to physiological reasons, 37.5°C can fall within the normal range. The details are as follows:
If body temperature remains continuously at or above 37.5°C without obvious external influencing factors, and is accompanied by symptoms such as headache, cough, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting, this may indicate a fever and would be considered abnormal.
In certain situations—such as after vigorous exercise, following a meal, or during emotional excitement—body temperature may temporarily rise to 37.5°C or slightly higher. This is considered physiological temperature elevation and usually returns to normal after resting. Additionally, individuals may have slightly different baseline temperatures, so 37.5°C could be within the normal range for some people.
In daily life, it is important to maintain good hygiene habits, get adequate rest, stay hydrated, eat more vitamin-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits, and engage in moderate exercise such as jogging or hiking, all of which contribute to overall health.
