This is not possible. Heat always move from a body of high temperature to a body of low temperature.
What layer insulates the body from extreme temperature changes in the external environment?

What organ includes sensory receptors protects other tissues and insulates the body against temperature changes?
The skin includes sensory receptors, protects other tissues, and insulates the body against temperature changes.
How does a down sleeping bag keep you warm?
It insulates the heat of your body temperature in the bag.
Which part of the skin keeps in heat?

What insulates the body and acts as an energy reserve?
muscle
Value of fat in human body?

How do you mesure extreme temperatures?
Depending on the heat emitted by a body, the colour of the body varies. by mapping the colour of a body to the standard scales, the temperature of the body can be determined. The temperature of sun is determined in this manner.
How low is a concern in Celsius?
The danger of an extreme in body temperature should be diagnosed by a doctor.
