Abstract
Elderly people and patients with chronic lifestyle diseases are at risk of being hit harder by environmental influences. Environmental impacts increase the risk of various lifestyle diseases. Biomimetics gives us a unique opportunity to find new treatments for lifestyle diseases and counteract health effects of environmental threats. A biomimetic alliance for better health achieved through cross-disciplinal collaboration may not only contribute to better health but also to a better and more sustainable environment: What is good for the planet is good for our health.
