Fever Impacts Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

During a fever, the body's internal temperature rises, triggering an increase in metabolic processes.

Physiological studies indicate that for every $1^\circ \text{F}$ increase in body temperature above the normal range, the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) increases by approximately 7%.

This heightened metabolic activity requires more energy expenditure by the body.
