The body produces heat mainly through metabolic processes as your body breaks down the food you eat and converts it into energy. Basically, glucose (sugar) from food, reacts with the oxygen you breathe to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Some of this energy is stored in a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to be used later in cell processes, and some of it is released as heat. This is called cellular respiration and it is the main way your body stays warm. Your body under normal conditions regulates the amount of heat produced to keep a stable body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius or 98 degrees Fahrenheit.

What regulates heat?
A human body regulates its temperature by sweating and shivering. When the body is too hot, glands produce sweat which contains heat and evaporates, taking the heat with it.
