There are many myths about diseases such as Hypertension, obesity and diabetics that make it difficult for people to believe some of the hard facts, as these diseases do not tend to be serious and potentially deadly diseases.
These diseases are caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease whereas sometimes it can also be caused by lifestyle factors.
Hypertension, obesity, and diabetes are not contagious. It can't be caught like a cold or flu. There seems to be some genetic link in these diseases and partially, lifestyle factors can also play a part.
After researching I have found that LIFESTYLE DISEASES are set of disease usually related to our changing urban way of life. The important factors contributing to these disorders are : Too much work, too much stress, too much tension, Very little sleep, Round-the-clock working hours, Bad eating habits and Sedentary with little or no exercise. In many diseases our life style may be an important causative factor or may aggravate the disease. Some of the common life style related diseases are 1) Diabetes 2) High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) 3) Heart Disease- especially Coronary Artery Disease 4) Obesity 5) Few Cancers: like Lung, Oral cavity, etc.
"LIFESTYLE DISEASES" are set of disease usually related to our changing urban way of life.The important factors contributing to these disorders are : TOO MUCH WORK TOO MUCH STRESS TOO MUCH TENSION VERY LESS SLEEP ROUND – THE – CLOCK WORKING HOURS BAD EATING HABITS SENDENTARY LIFE WITH LITTLE OR NO EXERCISE. In many diseases our life style may be an important causative factor or may aggravate the disease.
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index greater than 30. There are many factors that contribute to weight gain, including genetics, chronic health factors, economics and lifestyle. Losing weight and keeping it off is known to be even more difficult. While attending a recent symposium, statistics made me ponder as to how much our environment and lifestyle play a role in this “disease.”
hypertension means "High blood pressure; transitory or sustained elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure to a level likely to induce cardiovascular damage or other adverse consequences."
Life is not easy for people with diabetes. Given the fact that one has to live with the disease all through his/her life as there is no known cure and the medication available is only intended at keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal in order to avoid other health complications, it’s really important to take preventive measures at the first place.
In the end obesity and diabetes is halfway its a lifestyle disease and a disease but hypertension can be controlled.
First of all what is lifestyle disease? Lifestyle disease is a disease associated with the way a person or group of people lives. Lifestyle diseases include atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Obesity and type 2 diabetes; and diseases associated with smoking and alcohol and drug abuse. Regular physical activity helps prevent obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, colon cancer, and premature mortality. What is hypertension? Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats, it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. What is obesity? Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. What is diabetes? Diabetes mellitus (sometimes called "sugar diabetes") is a condition that occurs when the body can't use glucose (a type of sugar) normally. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body's cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells. Few factors that cause lifestyle diseases are smoking, stress, poor diet, drinking and drug abuse.
In the end I would say that obesity, diabetes and hypertension are all lifestyle diseases. Obesity and hypertension can be controlled 100% but diabetes can be controlled too
Lifestyle diseases are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer. Diet and lifestyle are major factors thought to influence susceptibility to many diseases. Drug abuse, tobacco smoking, and alcohol drinking, as well as a lack of exercise may also increase the risk of developing certain diseases, especially later in life. what is hypertension? Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure. what is obesity? Obesity is the state of being grossly fat or overweight. what is diabetics? Diabetes is a defect in the body's ability to convert glucose (sugar) to energy.
Let’s illustrate how easy it is for any or all of these diseases to hit a young, dynamic individual. Take the example of Mr. X, who leaves his house at 8 every morning. He was working on a presentation last night, so couldn’t wake up in time to go to the gym. He wanted to catch the morning news, so had to skip breakfast. Puffing away on his cigarette, he ordered the driver to race against the traffic so that he could make it to his office in time for the presentation. Post the presentation, he had to take his bosses for lunch to the latest Italian joint in town, where he ordered a cheesy pasta. Once he got done with work, he caught up with a few friends for drinks at the local pub, and made it back home after midnight.
Sounds like a day in the life of a typical businessman? Now, press pause, and calculate the number of health disasters it encourages. No exercise – obesity, skipping meals – acidity, smoking – cancer, stress – blood pressure, excessive fat consumption – heart disease, excessive alcohol consumption – cirrhosis, lack of sleep – receding memory and energy. When you stop to put things in perspective, all it takes are a few lifestyle changes for life to get back on track. Essentially, eat right, exercise, give your mind and body enough rest, and avoid cigarettes and alcohol. After all, medicine has improved by leaps and bounds in the last century.
In conclusion I would like to say that hypertension, obesity and diabetes are all lifestyle diseases that can be potentially prevented by changes in diet, environment and lifestyle.
Lifestyle diseases are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer. They can include Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, asthma, some kinds of cancer, chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, chronic renal failure, osteoporosis, stroke, depression and obesity
With the arrival of televisions, computers, video games, remote controls, washing machines, dish washers and other modern convenience devices, the majority of people are leading a much more sedentary lifestyle compared to their parents and grandparents. Some decades ago shopping consisted of walking down the road to the high street where one could find the grocers, bakers, banks, etc. As large out-of-town supermarkets and shopping malls started to appear, people moved from using their feet to driving their cars to get their provisions. One main reason for obesity in our life style is: that many people spend hours in front of TVs and computers doing work, schoolwork, and leisure activities. In fact, more than 2 hours a day of regular TV viewing time has been linked to overweight and obesity. The less you move around the fewer calories you burn. People who are inactive are more likely to gain weight because they don't burn the calories that they take in from food and drinks. An inactive lifestyle also raises your risk for coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, colon cancer, and other health problems. High blood pressure or hypertension increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Hypertension risk factors include obesity, drinking too much alcohol, and smoking. Exercise can do more than just help you lose weight ¬¬--it can help the body use insulin better so it can convert glucose into energy for cells. “Exercise is an important part of controlling diabetes”. Diabetics are also at higher risk for gum problems, People with diabetes are at a greater risk than the general population for blindness, cataracts and glaucoma, but can minimize their risks by managing their glucose levels.
To begin my report first I would like to say that what are lifestyle diseases? Lifestyle diseases (also sometimes called diseases of longevity or diseases of civilization interchangeably) are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer. They can include Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, asthma, some kinds of cancer, chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, chronic renal failure, osteoporosis, stroke, depression and obesity. Some commenter maintains a distinction between diseases of longevity and diseases of civilization. Certain diseases, such as diabetes, dental caries or asthma appear at greater rates in young populations living in the "western" way; their increased incidence is not related to age, so the terms cannot accurately be used interchangeably for all diseases. Now as for the topic we have to find if hypertension, obesity and diabetics are lifestyle diseases now we will look at them in detail we will see what is hypertension and what causes it? Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats, it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. Though the exact causes of hypertension are usually unknown, there are several factors that have been highly associated with the condition. These include: • Smoking • Obesity or being overweight • Diabetes • Sedentary lifestyle • Lack of physical activity • Vitamin D deficiency • High levels of alcohol consumption • Stress • Aging • Medicines such as birth control pills • Chronic kidney disease • Adrenal and thyroid problems or tumors
Now we will see what obesity is and what causes it? Obesity is nothing but being overweight or fat. And the thing that causes it is: • Lack of Energy Balance • An Inactive Lifestyle • An Inactive Lifestyle • Genes and Family History • Health Conditions • Smoking
Now we will see what diabetes is and what causes it? Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination); they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia). There are three types of diabetes:
1) Type 1 Diabetes is caused because the body does not produce insulin. Some people may refer to this type as insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes, or early-onset diabetes. People usually develop type 1 diabetes before their 40th year, often in early adulthood or teenage years. 2) Type 2 Diabetes is caused because the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not react to insulin (insulin resistance). 3) Gestational Diabetes this type affects females during pregnancy. Some women have very high levels of glucose in their blood, and their bodies are unable to produce enough insulin to transport all of the glucose into their cells, resulting in progressively rising levels of glucose. By see all of this there is only one result that hypertension, obesity and diabetes are all lifestyle diseases.
Lifestyle diseases (also sometimes called diseases of longevity or diseases of civilization interchangeably) are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer.

Diet and lifestyle are major factors thought to influence susceptibility to many diseases. Drug abuse, tobacco smoking, and alcohol drinking, as well as a lack of exercise may also increase the risk of developing certain diseases, especially later in life.
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems.

Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).
Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.
What causes lifestyle diseases? Diet and lifestyle are major factors thought to influence susceptibility to many diseases. Drug abuse, tobacco smoking, and alcohol drinking, as well as a lack of exercise may also increase the risk of developing certain diseases, especially later in life. In many Western countries, people began to eat more meat, dairy products, vegetable oils, sugary foods, and alcoholic beverages during the latter half of the 20th century. People also developed sedentary lifestyles and greater rates of obesity. Rates of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and lung cancer started increasing after this dietary change. People in developing countries, whose diets still depend largely on low-sugar starchy foods with little meat or fat have lower rates of these cancers. I think obesity is a lifestyle disease because: It makes it a lot harder to do things with friends, it certainly affects your confidence and the way people perceive you. Instead of being perceived on, perhaps; intelligence you get rated on how you look and therefore due to obesity you perhaps don't get the same opportunities as a slimmer person would. People will always choose a slimmer person over an obese one as they seem to think an obese person is lazy and incapable of tasks that a slimmer person could do. This isn't always true and is often an unfair perception on obese people. However being obese isn't all bad as people generally have to take you on your personality and this means you tend to find more genuine friends. Obese people tend to be smiley and jolly people this is often a cover for underlying unhappiness. Well in case of hypertension I don’t think it’s a lifestyle disease because if a person has a hypertensive heart attack that person can be cured in this way: Vegan , low sodium diet, 30 minute daily exercise and rest. Unfortunately diabetes affects your life tremendously. You can no longer eat the same food that you eat everyday because you have to maintain a certain blood sugar level. When you exercise, your muscles use sugar for energy. Regular physical activity also improves your body's response to insulin. These factors work together to lower your blood sugar level. The more strenuous your workout, the longer the effect lasts. So having diabetes would affect mainly your diet and your day to day activities. According to science: Can a person be diabetic and make some changes in their lifestyle and then not be diabetic? No.
