Assessing microbiology and sports’ roles in promoting global peace, quality health, and entrepreneurship: A One Health approach
Sporting activities provide valuable insights into how societal issues and health impact everyone. Both communicable and non-communicable diseases are prevalent today and are often diagnosed through medical laboratory investigations, including microbiology. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the adage, “Your health is your wealth.” Good health fosters wealth, which, in turn, enhances quality of life, overall health, peace, and entrepreneurship. During the pandemic’s peak, economic activities nearly halted, illustrating how poor health affects peace and entrepreneurship. The societal challenges during lockdowns, including increased suicidal thoughts from economic crises, further demonstrated this impact. Wealthier individuals often live longer, highlighting the reciprocal relationship between wealth, health, and peace. Adopting the health-conscious behaviors of footballers can inspire individuals to prioritize their health. Microbiology plays a crucial role in diagnosing infections in sports, yet its connection to sports education remains underexplored. Integrating microbiology and sports education could improve well-being and productivity. This article discusses how microbiology and sports education collectively promote peace, healthy living, and economic progression. The study used various methods, including reviews and personal life experiences with infectious diseases and football. The synergy between microbiology and sports has the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality, ultimately boosting economic activity. However, issues such as honor crimes and societal problems across genders can hinder daily economic participation. Football matches and microbiological investigations can play a role in promoting health and well-being, which, in turn, contribute to peace and unity and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Football players, who routinely screen for infections, model behavior that could encourage a broader prioritization of health. Both microbiology and football generate wealth, and every profession should be treated as a business to foster wealth for health and peace.
