Modern Lifestyle: The Silent Killer Behind Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Mental Health Issues

• A modern lifestyle, characterized by late nights, junk food, and excessive screen time, is a major cause of chronic diseases.
• Dr. Sonia Rawat of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital highlights how poor habits and stress weaken the body and mind.
• Unhealthy lifestyle directly impacts metabolism, leading to obesity, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, and hormonal imbalance.
• Increased consumption of fried/processed foods and lack of exercise elevate risks of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart attacks, even in youth.
• Poor lifestyle also causes digestive issues (acidity, IBS), mental health problems (anxiety, depression), and hormonal imbalances (PCOS, low testosterone).

Why It Matters: Modern lifestyle choices are silently fueling a rise in chronic diseases, impacting physical and mental health.
