What are "Lifestyle Diseases"?

Answer 1

As the name suggests these are diseases caused not so much by lack of food or by infections etc but as a consequence of the way we live our lives.Increasing affluence has led to many conditions such as obesity that then has further cosequences like diabetes,heart disease,cancer.Increased availabilty of food,non strenous daily lives where we neither do hard chores,nor walk and the tendency to eat prepackaged food,junk food etc has also contributed to the problem.India and China are two fast developing countries where these lifestyle diseases are taking a heavy toll.
I believe sexually transmitted diseases or even AIDS could be counted under this category.

Answer 2

Life Style diseases are those diseases which are brought about by following a certain life style. To give an example
Diabetes and Bloodpressure are they typical examples of Lifestyle diseases. Say about 25 to 30 years back one hardly heard of these diseases. Today more and more people go away from nature and follow a life style where they do not follow the nature's law like getting up early in the morning, eating at the proper time and going to bed at the proper time. Nature always reacts when someone goes against it. This reaction of nature results in lifestyle diseases. The solution is to go back to nature as far as possible . Follow daily routines like yoga and walking rigouressly and see the results. Also keep a tap on your food habits. Go slow on processed foods and take to non processed foods like raw fruits and vegetables supplementing your normal food. You will immediately see the result.

Answer 3

Could it be because "gay" people have more style? All the ones I ever knew did. But as a writer and old stodge I still protest about the theft of the great words "gay". What's wrong with mono-sexual or something? Gay used to invoke gaeity in general, laughter, dancing. It was also applied to a horse inadequately gelded (also called a "rig"). Language, especially English, is too marvelous to be merely exploited for PR reasons, or misused. We are all impoverished by that, because every word is a concept with rich associations (consider the horse) - and without those, we cannot think clearly. Good luck.

Answer 4

They are diseases caused by recreational substances or certain lifestyle patterns such as eating too much fats/sugars/salt, smoking, not exercising, too much alcohol, etc. The common ones are diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, high cholesterol/blood pressure, or lung cancer. Some are reversible by changing and improving the individual's lifestyle pattern.
