Re: Discovering the positives in healthcare
Dear Editor
Need for attention on Lifestyle and Environment
Lifestyle changes are some of the important key factors for the deterioration of health in people of all ages during these days.
Lack of healthy diet, a stressful life, depression, changes in work pattern, and getting false information through the internet are some of the causes for the neglect of their own health and the health of their family members.
The neglect of environmental health, excessive pollution of air, water and soil are also some of the causes of ill health.
Erratic use of pesticides, deforestation and climate changes are also some of the causes for the increased incidence of neurodegenerative diseases and emergence of old infectious diseases in new epidemic or in pandemic form with newer mutations.
So healthy lifestyles and mitigation measures for the climate changes are the need of the hour for a healthy population in recent times.
