As we Age, Our Bodies Get Harder, Stiffer, And More Visceral Somewhat shockingly, research shows that as we get older our bodies change more than we like to admit. As a result, public health researchers are now warning of an imminent pandemic of immune system disorder known as chronic inflammatory diseases. These conditions are triggered by continuous exposure to dangerous chemicals and pollutants in the air, soil, and water; they\u2019re also known as indoor air and outdoor air disease. Let\u2019s take a look at what the public health researchers have to say about climate change in the medical sector and how it is threatening our health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Climate Change?<\/h1>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Climate change is the increasing intensity of global heating. It\u2019s caused by the burning of fossil fuels – especially coal and oil – and the consequent increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased over time, from about 350 parts per million to more than 800 ppm. Part of the increase in CO2 is due to increases in human activity. As we grow older our bodies break down amino acids and other essential body parts; the more we do this, the more quickly these processes are triggered. The healthy aging of the body is a result of regular exposure to the right amount of CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Climate Change is Threatening Our Health<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, affects our health is the possibility of climate change. Climate change means that the amount of water in the air will be greater than it currently is. This will cause both more bacteria and more deadly malaria, which has led to several pharmaceutical companies developing specific medications to combat malaria. These medications also have side effects including weight gain, high blood pressure, and increased risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Health Benefits of Exercise<\/h1>\n\n\n

Exercise is a vital part of any well-being routine. It\u2019s been shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety and increase brain function in people who are already prone to anxiety or depression. Exercise is also known to help with improving memory, learning, and cognitive function. Many health programs promote the idea that physical activity is a key factor in preventing heart disease and cancer. But does this mean that we should be monitoring our calorie intake and measuring our heart rate too? Unfortunately, no. Exercising is more than just changing muscle groups and increasing heart rate. It\u2019s about increasing blood flow, decreasing body temperature, and increasing antioxidant activity. These three factors are closely related to preventing and managing chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why climate change is threats our health<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One of the most obvious reasons that climate change poses a threat to our health is through increased indoor air pollution. The average indoor space in a house is made up of around 6.1 square feet (1.2 m2) of packed earth. This space contains over 2,000 metric tons of carbon emissions depending on the season and location. Add in the fact that this space is often used to storing industrial waste and you have a serious problem. Another important reason climate change poses a threat to our health is through the increase in indoor water temperature. The average indoor temperature in a house is in the low to mid-90\u2019s. This is the same temperature as the ocean and provides a great opportunity to reduce the number of hydration points in the house. People spend around one-quarter of their waking hours engaged in water activity – whether that be drinking, bathing, or washing dishes. Water temperature can be a significant factor in the prevention and\/or treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COLD), Chronic Sinusitis, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RASTV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Climate change poses a real and growing threat to our health and well-being. The changes that take place due to climate change are already having an impact on our environment and ecosystems, but these changes are only felt when you are old. One of the biggest challenges that people of advanced age face is how to protect their health from all the threats that come with the aging process. The best that we can do is to prepare for the inevitable change that comes with aging and develop ways of fighting back. By following these 10 tips, you\u2019ll be well on your way to keeping your health and mind-healthy during the aging process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
