Description
Summary:Lifestyle has historically been linked to the progression of different chronic diseases. The amount of convenience accessible for our use has expanded in the current period of modern technology, communication, and technological devices. Nevertheless, it has also resulted in an upsurge in issues related to emotional and mental wellness. Asthma, coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes, lung cancer, and other disorders are all classified as lifestyle diseases. This theory contends that illnesses are brought on by an individual’s actions. The transition from an indigenous to a contemporary way of life, with high-fat and high-calorie meals paired with increasing emotional strain, has exacerbated the issue at hand. Obesity, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, chronic liver disorders, CHD, metabolic syndrome, depression, and cancer are all on the rise due to alterations to dietary habits and an increasingly unhealthy way of life. According to joint research by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Economic Forum (WEF), India lost around $236.6 billion in 2015 as a result of a sedentary way of life and consumption of unhealthy foods. Unhealthy eating, decreased physical activity, increased cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, insufficient sleep, and anxiety due to increasing job pressure are all examples of poor lifestyle choices.
