Diabetes or Hypertension treatment is not just mediacation ...Its about your habits & life style

 Diabetes or Hypertension treatment: it’s not just about insulin and medications. It’s about your everyday habits and lifestyle

As you may know both s diabetes and hypertension belong to a class of medical conditions known as non-communicable diseases or NCDs.  They cannot be easily acquired by simply catching a virus.  And they do not easily go away after just a course of antibiotics.  In fact they stay with us until the unavoidable end.
In most cases non-communicable diseases take years to develop.  Poor eating habits and nutrition, smoking, lack of exercise and high levels of prolonged stress all contribute to their development.  We all like to enjoy life but by keeping these habits up, we make it a shorter one.  No wonder hypertension is called the “silent killer” and diabetes is considered to be one of the most life-disrupting afflictions.

Treatment of hypertension usually involves a complicated regimen of drugs with unpronounceable names and unpleasant side effects.  Similar fate awaits those with diabetes, only it is worsened by the necessity of insulin injections and blood glucose measurements.  Pricking yourself with needles several times a day is not something that diabetic patients look forward to.
What most people don’t realize is that chucking those habits that made them sick in the first place will greatly reflect on their well being and disease progression.  Even tweaking one’s lifestyle a little bit can bring forward some very positive results.  Decreasing your weight, cholesterol levels and BMI will significantly reduce the risk of developing life threatening complications.
Let’s take obesity as an example.  A vast majority of people over 35 who are obese (overweight) will develop high blood pressure at some point in their lives.  Not only that.  Obesity is proven to lead to a full blown hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart attack.  The list of non-communicable diseases caused by obesity doesn’t actually stop here, it goes on and on.  And people who develop these medical conditions continue to stay overweight which causes illnesses to progress further and faster.   It’s like a vicious cycle.
But what if we could break it?  What if we could eat a little healthier, exercise a bit more and thus prolong our lives a little more as well?
The problem is that it’s not easy breaking lifelong habits without help. And that’s where Watif health app comes into the picture.Think of it as your friendly team of assistants and health care professionals, that will help you develop new, healthy habits to ease the burden of your health condition.
