Biochemical adaptation
Biochemical adaptation refers to the process by which our bodies adjust their internal chemistry in response to changes in the environment or activity levels. For example, when you exercise regularly, your muscles adapt by improving their ability to generate energy efficiently. Similarly, in high-altitude environments, your body produces more red blood cells to improve oxygen transport. These changes involve alterations in enzyme activity, hormone levels, and other biochemical processes, enabling you to function better under new conditions. This automatic adjustment helps maintain balance (homeostasis) and improves your ability to cope with different physical or environmental challenges.
