INDIANS AT RISK - A STUDY ABOUT AWARENESS, CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS ON DIET AND EXERCISE AMONG TELUGU SPEAKING SOUTH INDIANS LIVING IN UNITED KINGDOM AND INDIA
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Higher income levels and globalisation have induced a nutritional shift resulting in the rise of eating unhealthy food and decreased intake of fruits and vegetables and this coupled with reduced physical activity gives rise to risk factors like obesity leading to some of the major non-communicable diseases (NCD‟s) like Type-2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular disease, some Cancers etc. What is the net gain if the benefits of modernisation and economic growth are cancelled out by the costs like medical bills, lost productivity, premature death by a preventable disease? Unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, two risk factors among four that include tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol are central to this study. All four risk factors lie in non-health sectors and thus combating them is challenging and requires multi sectoral collaboration.
