Environmental sustainability, Healthy and unhealthy habits , Human evolution, Inflammation, Physiological paradoxesAbstract
Human evolution lasting millennia has allowed us to develop mechanisms in physiology capable of defending ourselves from the main difficulties. We can accumulate fat as a reserve, and we have acute inflammation as a response to pathogens and platelets to defend us from bleeding, but precisely the main defenses are now transformed due to the changed living conditions of part of humanity into potential enemies, creating a very dangerous paradox.
