How The Modern World Tricks Our Bodies Into Hurting Themselves

The video discusses the Cox enzyme, which helps the body respond to injuries and infections. In modern times, lifestyle changes have led to Cox being triggered unnecessarily, causing health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and autoimmune diseases. Aspirin can help manage these effects by inhibiting Cox, though it carries risks like internal bleeding. Regular low-dose aspirin use in high-risk individuals can reduce healthcare costs and increase lifespan.

What role does the Cox enzyme play when the body is injured?

• It produces chemicals that cause pain.

• It triggers the production of sticky platelets to clot wounds.

• It dilates blood vessels to increase blood flow.

• It reduces inflammation in the affected area.

How have modern lifestyles affected the activation of Cox enzymes?

• They have led to unnecessary activation of Cox enzymes.

• They have made Cox enzymes more efficient.

• They have reduced the need for Cox enzymes.

• They have eliminated the need for Cox enzymes.

What can happen if a cholesterol deposit in a blood vessel breaks open?

• The immune system clears the deposit safely.

• A clot forms, potentially causing a heart attack or stroke.

• Cox enzymes prevent any further damage.

• The body repairs the vessel without any issues.

What is a potential benefit of taking aspirin for older individuals?

• It increases the production of Cox enzymes.

• It completely eliminates the risk of heart attacks.

• It reduces the risk of Cox-related health problems.

• It enhances the body's immune response.

What is a risk associated with regular aspirin use?

• Reduced effectiveness of the immune system.

• Complete elimination of Cox enzymes.

• Higher chance of internal bleeding and stomach ulcers.

• Increased risk of infections.
