The Healthy Trinity to Face Non-communicable Diseases: Physical Activity, Nutrition and Sleep
Original language description
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, are significant global health concerns. Under the allostasis paradigm, the body's physiological systems continually adjust to maintain stability in response to stressors, and chronic exposure to these can lead to allostatic overload, contributing to the development of NCDs. The prevalence of these diseases has increased in recent years, and lifestyle factors are widely considered to be significant contributors. We introduce 'The Healthy Trinity' of physical activity, nutrition, and sleep as an operational framework that can help reduce allostatic load and promote overall health and well-being, reducing the risk of NCDs. The following are essential components of a healthy lifestyle that can significantly improve quality of life and prevent/manage NCDs: (i) regularly engaging in physical activity to improve muscle strength and increase lean mass; (ii) consuming a healthy diet with a mild reduction in calories from carbohydrates with a high dietary insulin index, along with fiber fortification and lean protein sources; and, (iii) getting adequate sleep to enhance physical and mental well-being. The key elements of the trinity can vary depending on the context which makes necessary scientific literacy to face NCDs under an allostatic and integrative approach for achieving and maintaining good health. Practitioners are encouraged to promote public awareness of 'The Healthy Trinity' as the "Scutum Salutis" or the shield of health for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and to use the allostatic load index for clinical monitoring.
