Shivering causes the body to produce heat. It also causes fatigue that, in turn, leads to a drop in body
temperature. Air movement around your body affects heat loss. It has been calculated that a naked man
exposed to still air at or about 0 degrees C can maintain a heat balance if he shivers as hard as he can.
However, he can't shiver forever.

Bodies shiver when we are cold because our temperature drops in our blood stream. We have different blood types. You can be an anemic or you may need more vitamins. Or it may be just cold inside or outside. Just bring a sweater along (smile).

It's an automatic neuro response to help keep your blood flowing and warm you. Once you stop shivering and are still in the cold then you have to start worrying.

When heat is taken out of our body, shivering helps our bodies to gain heat because we don't have fur.
