It is also important to release ourselves from the depressed mental state and lack
of motivation that can
accumulate as a
result of prolonged mental
stress over the long, isolating and often sedentary colder months.
McEwen has characterized these
accumulated risks
as «allostatic load:» As physiological systems fluctuate to meet the demands posed by a stressful environment, physiological costs of chronic exposure to recurring or heightened neural or neuroendocrine responses to repeated or chronic stress accumulate, resulting in interacting dysregulations in multiple physiological systems (10
