Hi guys this is Stephan Danielson talking to you on something that was recently on the news. Which was a about a 45 year old Swedish man was trapped in his car for 2 months with nothing to eat but snow. It was reported that the man went into a dormant state like bears do when they hibernate to save energy. The man had to survive in the car where it was -22 degrees which is really cold on the fact that all his warmth was coming from a sleeping bag in his car that could have saved his life. The police said his body temperature fell down to 88 which is low knowing that a humans average body temperature is 99 degrees Fahrenheit. Another good fact to know about the story was that the man had lost 44 pounds in the 2 months  he was stuck which could have possibly saved his life. For those of you that don't know when you stop eating your body starts depending on the fat stored in your body which starts making you look like you were from a concentration camp because that was what they did to the people in them. Another reason the man survived was because his body started slowing down his metabolism which means that the speed his body processed food slowed down.
