Diabetes has become one of the most common diseases in India. Its patient population is increasing rapidly. Diabetes Doctors say that the reason for the rapid increase in patients is people’s lifestyle, wrong eating habits and some wrong habits. According to statistics, about 7.7 crore people in the country are suffering from this disease and the number is constantly increasing.
Type 1 diabetes is genetic, which you can get from your family, while type 2 diabetes is caused by people’s wrong dietary lifestyle, which can be controlled. To prevent any disease, it is very important to know its causes, if you also want to prevent diabetes, know its cause well and decide to quit it from today.
Sedentary lifestyle:
Who doesn’t like to relax? Everyone wants to lie comfortably on the sofa or bed and enjoy movies and webseries, but in the long run this fun turns into a punishment that has a very bad effect on health. Sitting or lying down for long periods of time without physical activity can have a bad effect on the heart and lungs. Studies show that sitting or lying down all day increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
High calorie food:
Consuming too many calories can lead to weight gain and also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. The amount of work a person does in a day, he should consume the same amount of calories. If a person does a job that does not involve much physical activity, he should eat a low-calorie diet.
Not exercising:
Many studies have shown that exercise keeps the body and respiratory system (respiratory system) healthy, but if you have people in your family with diabetes, exercise can reduce its risk. Apart from delaying the onset of diabetes symptoms in such people, it also helps in maintaining the level of sugar level in the patients. That’s why workouts must be done at least 150 minutes or five days a week.
Consumption of alcohol and smoking:
Excessive smoking and drinking are directly linked to heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Smoking affects blood vessels by narrowing the arteries, which increases the risk of heart attacks and also increases the risk of diabetes. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to fatty liver, which later leads to diabetes, so stay away from these things.
Malnutrition:
Deficiency of essential macro and micro nutrients leads to many diseases affecting overall health. Many studies have found that eating leafy vegetables and a vegetarian Mediterranean diet can delay the onset of diabetes. Also, chronic vitamin D deficiency also increases the risk of diabetes. A healthy diet rich in proteins, fiber, essential fats and carbohydrates helps the body control blood sugar levels and insulin levels.
Obesity:
Visceral fat is the fat that accumulates in the internal organs of the body, the liver, which has been found to be associated with insulin resistance. Due to this, the person starts gaining weight, which increases the risk of diabetes in the future. At the same time, people with a low body mass index are at low risk.
Pressure:
Stress disrupts the functioning of both body and mind, which increases the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. Lack of sleep also increases this problem, so exercise, meditation, eating nutritious food and avoiding stress should be avoided.
