Nowadays, there is a significant rise in the number of people suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to several factors, including:
1. Lifestyle Changes: There has been an increase in the consumption of foods high in fat, sugar, and salt, along with a decrease in physical activity.
2. Use of Tobacco and Alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption greatly contribute to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and liver conditions.
3. Stress: Modern life, which brings about stress and anxiety, can lead to conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease.
4. Aging: With longer life expectancy, people are living longer, which puts them at higher risk for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
5. Genetics and Heredity:
Some noncommunicable diseases, like diabetes and hypertension, can be inherited from parents.
