"  It turns out there&amp;#039;s a real physical reason why we&amp;#039;re comforted by happy memories: Scientists discovered that reminiscing can actually increase your body temperature. Researchers at the University of Southampton conducted five different studies to test their claims. One study asked volunteers to sit in three different rooms: One cold, one warm, and one hot. Afterward, scientists asked the volunteers how nostalgic they felt. The results? The participants in the cold room said they felt more nostalgic, while those in the warm and hot rooms said they felt nothing. Another study asked the participants to sit in a cold room and recall a warm memory. Afterward, they were asked to estimate the temperature in the room\u2014all guessed the temperature was hotter than it was. The other three studies had similar results, leading scientists to believe that warm feelings can counteract the effects of a cold temperature. So, how can you make this work for you?
