Why would a long-term disruption in homeostasis tend to be more harmful than a short-term one?

Long term disruption in homeostasis is more harmful than short term one

Explanation:

Homeostasis deal with the maintaining the normal level of chemical and biochemical compounds present inside our body.

Any type of disruption results in body"s homeostasis leads to hamper the normal body physiology. For example increase in blood glucose level leads to diabetes.

On the other hand long term disruption in homeostasis can leads to severe physiological consequences. For example if a person suffers from acidity due to disturbance of normal acid base balance for a long period of time then there is possibility in development of gastric ulcer.
