Resumen

El concepto de alostasis ha emergido como un marco teórico clave para comprender los procesos de adaptación del organismo frente a los desafíos del entorno. A partir de la evolución del paradigma de la homeostasis, este artículo reflexiona sobre cómo el estrés crónico, derivado de estilos de vida poco saludables, puede desencadenar una sobrecarga alostática con consecuencias fisiopatológicas como inflamación crónica, disfunción neuroendocrina y deterioro conductual, contribuyendo así al desarrollo de enfermedades no transmisibles y trastornos mentales. En este contexto, se propone la actividad física regular, una alimentación saludable y una buena calidad del sueño como tres hábitos esenciales para el cuidado de la salud. Estos comportamientos actúan como moduladores positivos de la carga alostática, favorecen procesos de recalibración fisiológica y constituyen pilares fundamentales de cualquier estrategia de promoción de la salud. Finalmente, se hace un llamado a integrar estos tres esenciales en las políticas públicas y prácticas clínicas, reconociendo su papel estructural en la sostenibilidad de la salud individual y colectiva.
