What Is Normal Body Temperature?

5. What Factors Affect Temperature?
Your body experiences a wide range of temperatures that are all considered normal. For instance, your temperature after a strenuous workout will be higher than after relaxing on the couch, but both are still considered normal.
Your age, sex, activity level and other factors affect your body temperature. Any body temperature below 95 or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit is considered abnormal. For a more accurate range of your body temperature, work with a health professional to monitor your typical body temperature. Slight increases are typical throughout the day, particularly with changing eating habits and activity levels. As the outdoor temperature changes, you may also experience a slight change in your body temperature.
