Explanation:

Homeostatic reactions are the body's way of maintaining internal balance. When Marishka restricts food intake, the body triggers homeostatic reactions to adapt and function with fewer calories. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions (like high blood pressure, high blood sugar) that increase heart - disease risk. Organ reserves refer to the extra capacity of organs (e.g., the heart can pump more blood than at rest). Caloric reactions is not a standard biological term in this context.
