Dr. Yang Shuwen
An adult body temperature of 37°C is considered normal. Generally, a slight increase in body temperature after intense exercise, eating, or bathing is normal. It is recommended that patients regularly engage in physical exercise to promote metabolism and enhance their immune system. At the same time, they should maintain a balanced diet with proper mix of meat and vegetables, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
