Why do your teeth chatter when it's cold?


When you move, you make heat. Nature found out that people are too lazy to move on their own and even if they start exercising, they will inevitably do something stupid like break their legs, or fall into a pond. So we have a reflex to shiver when there is cold. Besides it's more efficient in making heat then moving, and moving is more efficient in moving then making heat.
