Homeostasis is the ability to maintain balance in the body even in fluctuating external conditions. In order for the body to keep this constant internal state it must be able to recognise and detect changes in the external environment‚ these changes are referred to as stimuli as they are what stimulate the change in internal conditions. The body detects these changes with receptors which communicate signals to the hypothalamus in the brain which is the control centre for this homeostatic system.

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant environment in response to internal and external stimuli. The body requires the constant and healthy environment that only homeostasis can provide Without this environment the body wouldn’t be able to carry out the life support process. An example of a normal disruption in homeostasis would be if one were to raise the temperature. The body would respond by ejecting and liquid from your body‚ called sweat. Sweating is meant to cool down the body. Another

An example of a more comprehensive program that is effective and cognizant of cost and time is the Healthy Body Image program. The Healthy Body Image program is an “evidence-based screening and intervention platform‚ enacted via community and online resources” (Jones et al.‚ 2014‚ p. 351). The Healthy Body Image program consists of four different components: an online screening‚ online evidence-based preventive intervention for individuals at low and high risk for eating disorders (StayingFit)‚ referral
