Some people ‘get cold easily’ because their bodies don’t keep heat as well. Think of your body like a house: some houses are better at keeping the warm air inside, while others let it escape quickly. If you're one of those people, your body is like a drafty house, and you feel the cold more.
Examples
- A child with less body fat may shiver quickly when playing outside in winter.
- An older person might feel colder than their friend during a walk on a chilly day.
- Someone who drinks hot chocolate before going out feels warmer for longer.
