Factors causing lifestyle diseases

This post is in continuation with my previous post where I wrote about the increase in lifestyle disesases amongst younger people.

Lets take a look at some of the factors responsible for these diseases:
  
  1. Hectic lifestyle - No time for self
  2. Processed / Junk Food 
  3. Excessive usage of insecticides and pesticides
  4. Lack of variety
  5. Crash diets
  6. Cola based drinks and caffeinated beverages
  7. Less nutrients in our food
  8. Soil Depletion of important minerals

The above listed factors are responsible for our bodies not getting proper nutrition and thus being low on immunity. We cannot fight these diseases like our forefathers could. The nutrition in food that they consumed was far higher than the nutition in food that we consume. There is a growing nutrition gap in our daily diet that we must look to fill in to enjoy healthier body and life.
