Technological advancements have greatly improved global living standards and increased life expectancy. Despite these benefits, they also bring challenges like an aging population, heightened lifestyle stress, and the widespread adoption of unhealthy diets. These issues have resulted in a noticeable rise in subclinical health risks and chronic disease burdens, which present significant challenges for public health.
The lifestyle adopted by most people in Western societies significantly impacts the propensity for metabolic disorders, including diabetes, Cancer / Tumors, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. This lifestyle is often accompanied by chronic low-grade inflammation, driven by the activation of various molecular pathways such as:
Multiple intervention studies have demonstrated that lifestyle changes can lead to reduced inflammation and improved health. This can be linked to the concept of real-life risk simulation, as humans are continuously exposed to dietary factors in small doses and complex combinations, such as:
