Building upon the evolution of the homeostasis paradigm, this article reflects on how chronic stress, resulting from unhealthy lifestyles, can trigger allostatic overload with pathophysiological consequences such as chronic inflammation, neuroendocrine dysfunction, and behavioral impairment, thereby contributing to the development of non-communicable diseases and mental disorders. In this context, regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and good sleep quality are proposed as three essential habits for health care. These behaviors act as positive modulators of allostatic load, support physiological recalibration processes, and serve as fundamental pillars in any health promotion strategy. Finally, the article advocates for the integration of these three essentials into public policies and clinical practices, recognizing their structural role in sustaining both individual and collective health. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Revista Médica de Risaralda is the property of Universidad Tecnologica de Pereira and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
