: Constant temperature is regulated by metabolism. This adaptation conveys an evolutionary advantage in that mammals and birds can live in environments where ectotherms (cold-blooded creatures) would not. Being warm-blooded, however, does have a disadvantage in that it consumes a great deal of energy and thus endotherms have to eat more.
: Basically, the chemical reactions constantly going on in your body are what generates the heat. Also, refer to the second law of thermodynamics.
