How can changing one's environment help human?

 

Making environmental modifications makes it easy to do the right thing without having to worry about staying motivated. You may set yourself up to adopt healthier habits if you set up your circumstances so that choosing the best decisions comes naturally. We frequently believe that change originates from inside. First and primarily, humans have a strong need for protection and security, and they seek such qualities in their surroundings. Physical wellbeing, such as a comfortable temperature, is equally important to us. Moreover, we desire a psychologically comfortable setting, such as one that is familiar yet offers just the appropriate amount of stimulation. Perhaps most significantly for our health, the environment can create or relieve stress, which has a variety of effects on our bodies. This is due to the continual interaction between our brain and our neurological, endocrine, and immunological systems.

Human actions are responsible for many of the most easily known causes of these shifts. The burning of fossil fuels for heating and energy generation, as well as the usage of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as coolants and aerosols, are major contributors to the accumulation of greenhouse gases. Acid rain is generated when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the air interact with water vapour, and it is caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. Ozone, carbon monoxide, lead, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates are all pollutants made as a result of industrial and energy-generation activities. The concentration of CFCs in the upper atmosphere is thought to be a direct cause of stratospheric ozone thinning.

Plasticity is the ability of an organism's brain to adjust its behaviour in response to changing environmental pressures. Plasticity's evolutionary function is to provide us the cognitive flexibility to adapt from previous experiences, monitor the world based on learned expectations, and alter our actions when those predictions are broken. This sort of adaptation is supported by both progressive (myelination) and regressive (synaptic pruning) brain alterations.
