OBESITY
Obesity is a chronic medical condition caused by
excess visceral fat. It may raise your risk of
developing multiple health conditions, including heart
disease and diabetes. Treatment can include lifestyle
changes and medication. In some cases, it can
involve surgery.
COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an
ongoing lung condition caused by damage to the
lungs. The damage results in swelling and irritation,

CONCLUSION
Lifestyle diseases are on the rise globally, and India is no exception. These diseases, which
are largely preventable, are caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices such as poor diet, lack of
physical activity, and smoking. They are a major burden on the healthcare system and the
economy.
There are many things that can be done to prevent lifestyle diseases. These include eating
a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and not smoking. It is also important to get
regular checkups to detect and treat any underlying health conditions.
Making healthy lifestyle choices is not always easy, but it is important for everyone to do
their part to prevent these diseases. By making small changes, we can all help to reduce
the burden of lifestyle diseases on ourselves and our families.
