There is also talk of a higher frequency of deformities to joints, disabilities and inflammation (but depending on the pathogenesis of the disease) that often affect women of working age and therefore with heavy burden on societies and families.

New little healthy habits

Many habits imposed by modern societies are new to both health and the environment; for example, replacing a balanced lunch with a fast-food type sandwich means introducing an excessive amount of saturated fat into the organism as well as releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (food according to international organizations is responsible for one third of global greenhouse emissions). The chain needed to put on sale a fast food sandwich requires a lot of energy from food to finish with the refrigeration so that it has been calculated that it is comparable to that which is used to make travel a vehicle for about nine kilometers, then all the fast consuming food that remains unsold ends up in the garbage producing fermenting other greenhouse gases.

Dry the hands with paper in public toilets

Many bacteria are becoming antibiotic resistant, posing a serious health threat and researchers would have found that jet-air dryers with their strong jet of hot air spread them all over the baths. Public Because many do not wash their hands and the bacteria remain attached to the skin, so it is better to use to dry the sheets of paper (which also allow a better cleaning and are greener if made in recycled paper and do not absorb energy Electrical). In case the jet-air dryer is in a hospital avoid using it it could be a safer choice regarding the health of the sick as well as an accurate washing of the hands without touching any surface of the bathroom. To be reported changing the subject that a study would have highlighted the presence of microplasty in the poo with consequences still not well clear on health, but certainly worrying.

Prevention from heat for the elderly

As the age progresses older people would be less able to quickly balance the body's heat than young individuals mainly because they have reduced sweating, at least from a study carried out by a researcher Canadian by monitoring hundreds of cases for example by comparing data about people exposed at a temperature of forty-four degrees Celsius for a few hours. Sweating is one of the main mechanisms for regulating body temperatures and if the percentage of moisture in the air is very high the sweat evaporates from the skin with greater difficulty; moreover older people feel less stimulation of thirst and tend to drink less water and this aggravate the situation, then those who have also diabetes would have a worse superficial blood circulation of the skin. For the elderly is important to maintain a suitable temperature in the homes and often hydrating themselves.

Unhealthy predictions on global heat

A study carried out on the global temperature data monitored in 2017 revealed that one third of the world's population already lives in areas where daytime temperatures are considered lethal over twenty days a year and even with drastic cuts in polluting emissions in the next seventy-five years it is expected that the number of days from lethal heat could increase to fifty percent of the population or seventy-five percent if measures were taken to limit the emissions. Already previous studies had warned on the probable worsening in the future of the quality of life due to days more and more characterised by suffocating heat in summer amplified by the island heat effect provoked by an obliged urbanization which does not even respect the areas reserved for the protection of biodiversity that normally favour a healthy equilibrium of temperatures.

Uncontrollable jellyfish proliferation

That of the proliferation of jellyfish in the Mediterranean is not only a nuisance for bathers, but according to some also a clear indicator of the evidence of how human activities have destabilized the marine ecosystem; in fact factors such as climate change and therefore the overheating of the sea combined with the excessive exploitation of fishing areas tend to aggravate the situation so much that beautiful tourist resorts in the south of Spain have had to forbid bathing for the presence of dangerous jellyfish stinging. Until a couple of decades ago this proliferation of jellyfish happened only on exceptional occasions, now this phenomenon happen almost every year in areas near the coast, also because it is suitable for reproduction being rich in plankton, then among the causes taken in consideration there would also be global maritime traffic since some species of jellyfish are inadvertently transported by ships.
