This suggests that the smallest amount of change in the temperature of the body it will affect the enzymes which are needed for digestion. Therefore if the temperature of the body doesnt return to its normal state this could affect the cells metabolism and you wouldnt have energy due to a decrease in the reaction rate of the enzymes which in return decrease your ablity to completely digest your food meaning no energy. Therefore its HIGHLY important for the body to regulate the changes inside the body.

The ability to regulate internal changes of the body is called Homeostasis.
