What are "Lifestyle Diseases"?!


Question:

What are "Lifestyle Diseases"?


Answers:

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.
