Adaptive thermoregulation

Adaptive thermoregulation is the body's natural process of adjusting its internal temperature to maintain optimal functioning despite external changes. When it's cold, the body conserves heat by constricting blood vessels and generating more heat through shivering. Conversely, in hot conditions, it dissipates heat by sweating and increasing blood flow to the skin. These mechanisms are flexible, allowing the body to adapt over time to different environments, ensuring stability in core temperature. This system helps prevent both hypothermia (getting too cold) and hyperthermia (getting too hot), supporting overall health and performance.
