Our Lifestyle choices are the root cause of most of the diseases these days.
Being an adult, we have full control over our Diet, our Exercise regime and our habits but we fail to follow a healthy diet, a regular fitness regime and other good lifestyle habits.
While we are successful in fighting communicable diseases like Polio, we under-estimate these Lifestyle diseases.
Diabetes, Heart disease, Hypertension, Obesity and Cancer
These are the main Lifestyle diseases the world is witnessing. I was stunned to know that approximately 2 million deaths per year are attributed to physical inactivity.
This along with increasing tobacco use, poor diet and nutrition, are leading to the rapid rise of diseases.
Now you tell, aren't these Lifestyle issues?
And the truth is we can cure these by making slight changes in our Sedentary Lifestyles. Even then we choose to ignore our health and are falling prey to these slow-killing ailments.
