Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

I've observed many times where when people get a fever, they automatically want to get rid of this fever.

And that is a big mistake.

Now, let's just kind of give you the basics.

The normal temperature of your body should be between 97.8 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit or that's 36.5 degrees Celsius to 37.2 degrees

Celsius and this can vary a little bit depending on your age, if you're male or female,

etc. Now, babies and children generally have a higher temperature. It's normal for a newborn

baby to have a temperature of 99.5 Fahrenheit or 37.5 Celsius. And as we age, we actually get cooler.

Someone in their 80s could have a temperature of 93.5 degrees Fahrenheit

and be completely normal.

The problem with that is when they get a fever,

that temperature could be actually what is normal for someone that is younger.

And the purpose of a fever is to fight pathogens to help you decrease the duration of an infection.

So if you instantly go to ibuprofen and Tylenol and try to break the fever,

you're going to end up with the infection a lot longer than you should. Also, a fever

helps mobilize and increase your white blood cells. So it's quite fascinating. There's many things

to do to speed up this cycle of an infection. One is to take the right nutrients. Now, with children,

I found if you've given them calcium, like calcium lactate, it seems to help them overcome

an infection very fast.
