Estilos de vida, sostenibilidad y salud planetaria
Summary
This study examined the relationship between lifestyle habits, environmental sustainability, and planetary health, exploring how daily actions such as diet, transportation, and consumption patterns affect both human health and environmental well-being.
El concepto de salud planetaria relaciona la salud humana con la del medio que habitamos. La explotación de los recursos naturales nos ha situado en un contexto de emergencia climática y ambiental que compromete nuestra salud y bienestar. Nuestro estilo de vida entendido como nuestros hábitos y acciones diarias, además de tener un impacto directo en nuestra salud, tiene una serie de efectos ambientales que se relacionan con el uso de recursos naturales, la producción de residuos y la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero: nuestra alimentación, la forma en la que nos desplazamos, el consumo de tóxicos como el alcohol y el tabaco, la proximidad de los espacios que habitamos a zonas verdes, o azules, no solo nos afectan como individuos, sino que pueden contribuir en mayor o menor medida al cambio climático y a la pérdida de biodiversidad. Conocer el impacto de estas acciones y estilos de vida en la salud del planeta y en la nuestra propia nos permitirá disponer argumentos adicionales que pueden motivar a individuos y poblaciones a apostar por las opciones más sostenibles, a la vez que saludables, adoptando el enfoque de salud planetaria. Palabras clave: estilo de vida, salud ambiental, promoción de la salud.
