Even a healthy and fit person also has a problem with diseases like Heart attack, cancer, stroke, or any other risky diseases, which are based on some components. The two major components of the disease are genetics and also based on lifestyle.
You can lower your risk of disease and remain active and fit by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The WHO claims that living a healthy lifestyle allows you to take advantage of more elements of life.
Components for Diseases
The major component in the cause of the disease is Human Genetics. A genetic disorder is a condition that entirely or in part, results from a change in the usual DNA sequence. If a parent has some diseases, then there is a possibility for each child is having 50% inheriting the mutated genes.
A higher risk of giving birth to a child with a birth defect, a child with a developmental handicap, or a child who develops a disease like Heart Disease(CAD, BP), Asthma, Diabetes, Cancer, Single Gene Disorders, etc., has been linked to several genetic abnormalities. A few of the behavioral and psychological features that each person’s DNA can influence include intelligence, personality, and vulnerability to mental illness. Both parents and children may have these traits within a family.
- The two major components of the disease are genetics and lifestyle.
- Genetic diseases are diseases inherited from the parent’s gene.
- Unhealthy Lifestyle also causes severe diseases.
- Lifestyle plays a major role in our day-to-day life.
The most important component which causes the disease is a lifestyle. Diets high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol have been linked to atherosclerosis and other heart diseases. Consuming excessive amounts of salt may also cause blood pressure to rise. There is a link between heart disease and insufficient physical activity.
Diabetes (Type 2), Heart disease, Asthma, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Cancer, etc., are some of the diseases which are caused due to unhealthy lifestyles. These are also non-communicable diseases.
74% of all deaths worldwide—or 41 million per year—are caused by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). 17 million people worldwide pass away from an NCD before they turn 70 each year; 86% of these untimely deaths take place in low- and middle-income nations.
The majority of NCD deaths, or 17.9 million people per year, are caused by cardiovascular illnesses, which are followed by malignancies (9.3 million), chronic respiratory diseases (4.1 million), and diabetes (2.0 million). Over 80% of all NCD-related deaths that occur prematurely are caused by these four disease types.
Never smoking, engaging in regular physical activity, eating no alcohol or only in moderation, maintaining normal body weight, and getting enough sleep each night are some of the essential health-related habits for preventing chronic diseases.
