How to prevent

• Weight management: keep body mass index (BMI) below 25 kg/m²

BMI = weight in kilograms
(height in meters)²

BMI of a person weighing 52kg and 1.63m tall = 52/1.63*1.63= 52/2.66 = 19.55

• Reduce abdominal fat: Abdominal exercise such as curls ups after 20minutes of aerobic exercise will reduce abdominal fat and further strengthen abdominal muscles giving a good shape.

The Intention

Today many people acquire lifelong degenerative diseases than any other time in the past. But most people do not know most of these incidents can be prevented or delayed if lifestyle changes are made. Lifelong degenerative diseases need lifelong medication and have to confront many side effects of both the disease itself and the medication. Productivity and the quality of life dramatically reduce due to the complications and the necessary restrictions of the disease.

Our intention is to prevent wide range of lifelong diseases by way of possible lifestyle modifications.

Why should we try to prevent?

It is true many of these disease conditions have effective treatments but life will never be the same as before.

• Most of these conditions are lifelong and have to undergo life long drug therapy

• Long term drug therapy causes many complications such as physical weakness, organ or tissue damage, toxicity, alterations in the body mechanism etc.

• High health cost for treatments, management and follow-up tests

• Considerable time waste for treatments and personal care

• Psychological distress of being diseased

• Confronted with restrictions and avoidance for normal lifestyle habits such as foods, physical activities, job opportunities, family life etc.
