1191 Words5 Pages

Lifestyle diseases are diseases which arise due to a way of living that we follow. The incidence of these diseases continues to increase at an alarming rate globally. The main reason behind the development of these diseases can be attributed to unhealthy patterns of life- inappropriate eating and living habits. The type of lifestyle followed by people cause diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, high blood pressure (HBP), cholesterol, cancer etc. By lifestyle we mean, a pattern of living that we follow- the type of work we are involved in, what and when we eat, how and when we sleep, amount of physical activity we do and whether we smoke and consume alcohol. Lifestyle diseases are habitual, long term, deep-rooted and continuous in nature. They develop over long duration and in serious cases they may also lead to death. Lifestyle diseases are also non contagious which means they do not spread from one person to another through physical contact or any other type of infection. These diseases are also seen affecting the younger generation in the developing countries and they come with a financial cost throughout a person’s lifetime. The younger generation nowadays does not understand the benefits of good eating, exercising and abstinence from smoking and drinking. They prefer junk food over nutrient rich food. Due to newer technology being invented every day, there is no involvement in physical activity. These habits that people follow lead to lifestyle diseases.
