Winter, itself, is a huge stress. Low environmental temperature is a huge physiologic stress. This stress is enough to cause a person to become depressed, anxious, or even manic. And as the weather warms, a person gets better again.
…It’s 93 degrees outside. I was just thinking about putting in the AC but now I’m wondering if I reduce the ambient temperature from 90 degrees to say 72 degrees am I putting more physiologic stress on my body?
What is an ideal ambient temperature so as to reduce the physiologic stress? Do you want keep it close to normal body temperature?
I found what I was looking for. The term is “thermoneutral zone”. This is the temperature where your body is losing heat at the same rate it is producing heat. I assume this is the least stressful temperature for you at the given moment.
From what I see online the range is quoted anywhere from 72 F – 86 F. The temperature for an individual varies according to many factors such as: metabolism, sex, clothing, humidity level, body mass, activity level, time of day,…

I think you’re on the right track. But a comfortable temperature also depends on norepinephrine production.
When a person uses norepinephrine to generate heat because they have problems generating heat through other means (e.g. hypothyroidism, nutritional deficiencies, etc.), the person may feel hot when their actual temperature is cold – e.g 95.6 axillary temperature. It is an illusion of heat driven by norepinephrine production. A more extreme example are some hot flashes people experience. Such a person may have difficulty tolerating warm temperatures since they already feel hot, despite being actually cold. Thus, to feel comfortable and not stressed by temperature, they may set the ambient temperature lower – let’s say 96 degrees F, and everyone else around them freezes. The only problem is that the lower temperature is also a stress, despite feeling comfortable, because their bodies make even more norepinephrine to compensate.

These atmospheric repercussions we are more or less sensitive, but most of the time studies show physiological changes in serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, prolactin, histamine, thyroxine, the adrenal shock proteins and creatinine.

The reactions at high temperatures show four clinical realities
*1 – The hyper production of serotonin, a typical cause irritation syndrome
2 – A deficiency of the adrenal gland because of burnout
3 – A crude form of hyperthyroidism with symptoms ‘apathetic’
4 – An increase in prolactin and certain prostaglandins

The winds like the Tramontana, Sirocco, the Sharkiye the Chamssin the Sharav and Santa Ana, are often the cause of exhaustion and fatigue due mainly to increased ionizing positive air.

sorry this my correct answer, the link blog is a mistake

We measured body temperature and metabolism in animals exposed to short periods of time (1 h) the air temperature ranging from 10-45 ° C and long periods of time (8 hours) the air temperature ranging from 10-30 ° C. The endothermic homeothermy is one of the most significant evolutionary changes to which the relationship between the animal and its environment
