Symptoms And Early Signs of Lifestyle Disorders
The most common lifestyle disorders are cardiovascular problems like hypertension, heart attack, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, chronic liver disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), diabetes, and osteoporosis also come in this category.
Obesity, Arteriosclerosis, High Blood Pressure, and Type II Diabetes, are the other lifestyle disorders.
As far as symptoms are concerned, the first one is obesity. Increased BMI (especially more than 30) is a prima facie sign of lifestyle disorders. While the symptoms of cardiovascular problems are chest pain, suffocation, weakness, and pain in the legs coupled with a sense of numbness. It may also include pain in the neck, jaw, and back; shaky movements, irregular heartbeats, and weakness all the time.
Increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, slow healing of wounds, and frequent infections are signs of sugar levels increasing in the body, which might lead to type-II diabetes.
Causes of Lifestyle Disorders
The two major causes of Lifestyle disorders as a whole are:
- Lack of physical activities
- Eating unhealthy food
A sedentary lifestyle, drinking, smoking, stress, and irregular sleeping habits, when coupled with overeating, a low-fiber diet, processed food, energy drinks, and processed and fast foods are the reason; for making the situation worse with each passing day.
Another important thing to consider is the lack of exposure to sunlight, fresh air, and clean water. Poor posture, sitting the whole day, spending no time in the lap of nature, and no time to spend with loved ones is also contributing factor to many psychological abnormalities.
Treatment For Lifestyle Disorders
Developments- not only technological but economic as well, have greatly enhanced the standards of living. Our lives are now much easier than ever before. Now everything is just a few clicks or taps ahead. Even the working patterns have drastically changed, especially in the post-lockdown world. A striking majority have the luxury to work from their bedroom! AI-powered advanced work tools springing up like mushrooms and making the work much easier.
In modern medical science, in place of a single solution, the emphasis is on considering them as a group of different diseases. For example, obesity, diabetes, and heart problems- though arising from a single reason are considered separate issues and diagnosed and treated accordingly. Blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, etc. are deployed for different symptoms, and medication is prescribed accordingly.
Ayurvedic Treatment Way For Lifestyle Disorders
All these anomalies are termed as Lifestyle Disorders because they clutch the persons adopting unhealthy lifestyle and habits.
And this is really something serious to keep a check on. It has been estimated that over 15 million people in the age group of 30-69 lose their lives to cardiac arrests, diabetes and blood pressure problems. People might not consider living a healthy lifestyle mandatory on the grounds of claiming that they are not addicted to anything bad! But as per a UN Chronicle living unhealthy lifestyle shares the risk factors as being in prolonged usage of alcohol and smoking!
So this alarming situation, which is only on the sharp rise, is something to be taken very seriously. Ayurvedic treatment works in a different way. Instead of treating the symptoms here, the focus is on eradicating the cause and strengthening the body against the disorders. In Ayurveda lifestyle disorders are not considered as a disease but a temporary state of the body. This, with some rectifications in diet and exercises, can be cured completely.
The only need is to get assistance from an experienced professional, who can correctly prescribe what is good and suggest what needs to be avoided.
