5 Things You Must Know About Your Body Temperature...

Body temperature is an important indicator of our health. What is normal body temperature? What part of the body gives the most accurate readings? Find out the answers to these and other questions regarding body temperature. 


1.Your body is great thermoregulator
Our body has an amazing ability to keep its temperature within safe range to keep you healthy, no matter what conditions you are exposed to outside the body. When you feel hot, you start sweating, which cools you body down. When you feel cold, you start shivering, which is involuntary muscle contractions that generate heat. Goosebumps that appear on skin when you are feeling cold are actually tiny muscles that raise body hairs, which increase their thickness.

2. Normal body temperature
It is commonly accepted that normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees F or 37 degrees C. However, there is also a number of variations to normal body temperature that depend on many factors, such as the time of the day, outside temperature, age of the person and others. Temperature may vary by 1 degrees F (0.6 degrees C), from 97 degrees F (36.1 degrees C) to 99 degrees F (37.2 degrees C), which is considered within normal range.

3. The body temperature varies throughout the day
Body temperature undergoes minor changes throughout the day. It is the lowest in the morning, between 4 and 6 a.m. And highest in the evening, around 6 to 8 p.m. Temperature also changes during sleep. Usually it starts to drop when we fall asleep, ensuring sound sleep and needed rest.

4. Rectal temperature - most accurate
Body temperature is measured with the help of different types of thermometers in various parts of the body. Temperature taken in your mouth may be influenced by many factors and is usually lower, while rectal and ear measurements are slightly higher than oral temperature readings. Temperature taken in your armpit may me the least accurate since it may not directly indicate core temperature. The most accurate way to measure body temperature is to take temperature rectally.

5. Fever is good for you
Many of us are scared of fever and try to reduce fever with medications. However, fever is not an illness, but the body's defense mechanism that fights infections and is basically harmless. Fever slows the growth of pathogenic bacteria and activates white blood cells to fight infection. Fever may range between 100 degrees to 104 degrees F and higher (37.8 degrees - 40 degrees C), but not all of them need to be treated with medications. The general rule of thumb is that fever medicines are necessary when it causes you or your child discomfort or there are other dangerous signs such as trouble breathing or pain. 

World's Highest Tidal Waves in Qiantang River

The Qiantang River (also known as the Qian River) is a southeast Chinese river that originates in the borders of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces and passes through Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, before flowing into the East China Sea through Hangzhou Bay.

The river and bay are known for the world's largest tidal bore, which is up to 9 metres (30 ft) high, and travels at up to 40 km per hour (25 miles an hour). The tide rushing into the river from the bay causes a bore usually from 5 to 15 ft (1.5–4.6 m) high, which sweeps past Hangzhou and menaces shipping in the harbor. It is so dangerous that, until recently, no one attempting to surf it has managed to remain upright for more than 11 seconds.

On September 1, 2011, massive tidal waves exceeded 60 metres and damaged more than 100 metres of protective railings. Many people came to see this amazing natural phenomenon.

10 Dramatic Mountain Ranges of the World..

There are amazing mountain ranges in the world, many of which you may never have heard of. These ranges are relatively young, therefore their peaks are sharp and dramatic. Take a look and see if you can learn something new about some of the world's dramatic mountain ranges...


1. Teton Range, USA

The Teton Range is part of the Rocky Mountains in the western United States. The highest summit in the Tetons is Grand Teton at 13,770 feet (4,198 m). There are four other peaks over 11,000 feet. The three central peaks pictured here were named 'Les Grande Tetons' or 'The Large Breasts' by lonely French trappers in the 1700's. The Tetons are the youngest part of the Rocky Mountains, therefore they retain their sharp features. Part of the reason for the fame of the Teton Range is that the mountains rise up dramatically 5,000 to 7,000 feet from the Snake River and the flat plain in front of them, with no foothills to moderate the change in elevation. Most of the Teton Range lies within the Grand Teton National Park.


2. Cordillera del Paine, Chile

The Cordillera del Paine is a small range in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. The most famous section of the range is the photogenic Torres del Paine pictured here. The torres (towers) are granite monoliths formed by glacial ice. The peaks are about 8,000 feet in height.

3. Na Pali, Hawaii

The Na Pali Coast National Park is located on the north coast of the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. The dramatic cliffs (pali) rise 4,000 feet (1,200 m) above the Pacific Ocean. The only access to the cliffs is by the secluded 11-mile Kalalau Trail. The cliffs are a popular destination for photographers via helicopter and boat tours.


4. Dolomites, Italy

The Dolomites are a mountain range in the southern Alps in Italy. The mountains are paler and more granular than the sharp granite of more northern ranges in the Alps. They are named for the type of rock, dolomite, a carbonate rock that makes them up. The highest peaks are in the 10,000 foot range. The mountains were the scene of fighting during both the First and Second World Wars. Today they are popular hiking and skiing destinations.


5. Tien Shan Mountains, China

The Tien Shan Mountains stretch 1700 miles (2,800 km) across central Asia from Uzbekistan to western China. The name means 'Celestial Mountains' in Chinese. The highest peak in the Tien Shan is Jengish Chokusu in Kyrgystan at over 24,000 feet (7,400 m). The mountain was only discovered in 1943 by a Soviet expedition. In Russian, the name is Victory Mountain. According to Daoism, the Tien Shan mountains are the home of the goddess of the west, who guards the peach trees of immortality there.


6. The Pennine Alps

The Pennine Alps are a mountain range in the western part of the Alps in Switzerland and Italy. The Pennine Alps include 15 peaks exceeding 14,000 feet (4,200 m) high. The most famous peak in the range is probably the Matterhorn. Although the Matterhorn is only the 11th-highest peak in the range at 14,693 feet, its dramatic cliffs have made it alluring to mountain climbers. Unfortunately, over 500 climbers have died attempting it. This picture shows the 8th and 10th highest peaks in the Pennine Alps, Dom and Taschhorn.


7. Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica

The Transantarctica Mountains are one of the longest mountain ranges on earth, stretching 3500 km from one end of the continent to the other. The highest peak in the range reaches 14,764 feet (4,599 m). The summits and dry valleys with the 100-300 km wideTransantarctic Range are the only places on the continet not covered by snow and ice. The arid and cold environment in the valleys in the interior of the range limits vegetation to lichens, algae and fungi.


8. Mansiri Himal Range, Nepal, Himalayas

The Mansiri Himal is a subrange of the Himalaya Moutains that lies about 100 km north of Kathmandu in Nepal. The highest peak, pictured here, is Manaslu. Its name is derived from Sanskrit and means "Mountain of the Spirit". Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world at 26,759 feet and was first summited in 1956. The Mansiri Himal range contains the 8th, 18th and 20th highest peaks in the world.

The island is so far north that the sun doesn't set from April to late August, then it doesn't rise above the horizon from October to February. Known for its scenic beauty with the surrounding rugged mountains, Magdalenefjord extends eight kilometers inland. During the 1600's it was a much-used anchorage for whaling ships. Today it is a popular Summer destination for cruise ships.
