PERSONAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT TRIGGERS – Win Your Health Lesson 1

The aim is to enhance everyone’s health.

That’s why, as a Board-certified nutrition specialist, I want to provide more in-depth information in this “Win Your Health” Lesson series. The first is focused on environmental impact, something that is understandable, and yet there are still many wrong assumptions.

So, how does your environment affect you? There is more to know than you might think.

One of the top wrong assumptions is that you can “get” a disease (diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.) from the environment. It is true that there are many places where you can find different germs that can lead to infections or some chronic diseases like public bathrooms, restaurants, your own home, etc. These places and impacts WebMD, public health experts call the “dirty dozen,” but that doesn’t mean that they are the cause of all diseases. Scientists are searching for magic pills, e.g., antibiotics that could kill all the germs.

Anyone’s environment has a much more significant impact on their health.

PERSONAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT TRIGGERS:

• Diet (lack of vitamins, oversaturation of sugars, etc.)
• Stress (work, family, society, money, etc.)
• Traumas (e.g., a knee injury that keeps reminding itself)
• Radiation (from food, drinks, walls, etc., read more at International Atomic Energy Agency about Radiation in Everyday Life)
• Exercising (unbalanced, too much, improper eating after, lack of regular stretching, etc.)
• Toxins (in food, water, and air)

How does the environment affect human health is a question everyone should ask themselves in order to understand the importance of daily life choices. Also, the impact of environmental pollution on human health can be severe. It is worth noting that these triggers can have different effects on different people. Mostly it has to do with genotype. Thus examples of environmental health problems can be tackled and fixed with the right attention to their environmental impact. So if you ask “what types of environmental factors affect health,” the general answer is “every.”
