<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - We are often exposed to situations in which the difference in the feeling of heat or cold emerges from one person to another. In every home or workplace, you will find a war going on between a very hot person who strives to turn on the air conditioner at the coldest possible degree, &quot;and this person is often fat in build&quot;, and on the contrary, and in the same place, you will find another skinny person shivering from the cold and struggling to turn off the air conditioner! This leads us to ask the following question:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Why do people with obese bodies feel hotter than people with skinny bodies?</strong><br /></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In fact, it depends mainly on the physical mass and the amounts of fat stored by the body, which gives a feeling of warmth and heat in a high way compared to people who suffer from a lack of fat and a weak physical structure, and to bring you closer to the picture, the mass of fat can be likened to additional layers of clothing that increase the feeling of heat.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> What we mentioned earlier is the principle, but for each case there is an exception, and it may happen that the obese person feels cold more than others, and despite the rarity of these cases, they are directly related to some health diseases related to the circulatory system, which will make him feel cold at times.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In this case, when the patient feels hot, the blood vessels widen, allowing blood to flow through them and reach the skin, where the excess heat is removed and its surface cools.<br /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> But this feeling of coldness is only superficial, as the subcutaneous fat mass traps heat inside the body and keeps the heart warm, while cooling the surface of the skin, which may lead to obese people feeling colder than others when the blood circulation is disturbed.</p>
