Hello Respected Doctors,
Greetings and hope you all are doing good.
It's a very odd and foolish question I am asking. Pls let me know why majority of youngsters or even the ones in their old age suffering from thyroid issues, diabetes etc in today's time. Coz we never saw our grandparents or people suffering from such issues in those olden times..whats the most important reason for all these and how can one avoid from getting all these? Honestly every second person in my office I encounter have either thyroid issues or diabetes minor and Blood pressure probs.
Thnx in advance

Diabetes and hypertension are what we know of as lifestyle diseases. As modernization and lifestyle improved there is increase in intake of unhealthy food, increase in stress due to modernization with increase use of ethanol and smoking and other intoxicants. With the decrease in leisure time, added with lack of physical activities, and also the genetic factors where the parents affected today, passing down the genes to the offsprings. Hence the increase.
Compare with the older generation with simple eg:
1. Cycling and walking as compared to driving today
2. Most food where healthy as compared to junk food of today.
3. There was time to relax not just physically but also mentally as compared to today. Etc..
