Your body works hard to keep internal organs and your head warm, and sometimes extremities get left behind. Usually, when parts of your body get too cold, they turn red and hurt.Extremely cold temperature can also cause hypothermia, when the body's temperature dips below 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
A commonplace assertion is a statement that people just assume is correct and applies to everyone, even though there may not be any proof to support that assertion.
For example: <em>An apple a day keeps the doctor away. </em>
This asserts that if you eat an apple every day you won't ever get sick, and that is certainly not true.
