What are chronic (lifestyle) diseases and why is it such a big deal?

At Least 75% of our entire population (world over) is suffering from the Chronic disorders of the Modern era. It is estimated that 50-60% of all deaths in our country is now because of chronic diseases. The common denominator being a poor external and internal environment that leads to imbalances in the body and mind.

Chronic disease, also referred to as a lifestyle disease is primarily born out of unhealthy food, poor lifestyle choices and an unfavourable external and thereby internal environment. A significant part of this burden from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, gut & skin issues to mental health conditions, require an early detection as well as simple lifestyle changes or going back to the roots. 

Chronic disorders don’t necessarily require to be managed with lifelong drugs, which negatively impacts the progression of the disease. Hence a paradigm shift is needed from sickcare towards Healthcare; from control to cure;  from Illness to wellness to stop this from becoming an epidemic of our generation.
