Climate change is causing various health issues, notably in the gut. Warmer temperatures may be linked to diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and intestinal infections. Factors like poor crop growth, contaminated water, and heat waves contribute to these health risks. Stress hormones, especially cortisol, can disrupt gut health by affecting its physiology and response to food transit. As global temperatures rise, it's essential to understand these health implications and how they connect to broader environmental changes.
Higher temperatures can increase stress hormones in the body, and that really affects gut physiology... Cortisol can also speed or slow the time it takes for food to transit through the intestines.
A warming world leads to all manner of health problems, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, exacerbation of pulmonary conditions like asthma and COPD.
