Acclimatization

Meaning

Acclimatization refers to the process of a human body undergoing physiological adjustments in response to sustained changes in its natural environment, such as variations in temperature, humidity, or altitude. This adaptive capability is essential for survival, enabling the maintenance of core biological functions despite external stressors. In the context of hormonal health, this process involves the endocrine system modulating its output to establish a new state of metabolic equilibrium. Successfully achieving acclimatization indicates the body’s robust homeostatic capacity and resilience to chronic environmental challenges.
