As we use more air during combat, we would cause an allergic reaction if our stress hormones did not suppress the normal inflammatory response.
The body therefore makes a short term survival decision that overrides longer term health consideration. For example blood is diverted away from digestion and directed to muscles as there is no point in wasting energy digesting your lunch at the point you are likely to become someone else’s lunch!
