Sustained Physiological Reserve

Meaning

Sustained Physiological Reserve refers to the body’s remaining capacity to cope with significant metabolic or environmental stress without compromising essential homeostatic functions. This reserve is the functional buffer between baseline activity and maximum capacity across all organ systems, including the cardiovascular, metabolic, and endocrine systems. A high, sustained reserve is a hallmark of youth and resilience, allowing for rapid recovery from illness, injury, or intense exertion. Clinically, maintaining this reserve is a primary goal of anti-aging and wellness protocols.
