In today’s fast-paced world, lifestyle diseases have become a major health concern globally. These diseases are primarily caused by unhealthy habits, poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, and stress. Unlike infectious diseases, lifestyle diseases develop gradually and are largely preventable.
Who is Affected by Lifestyle Diseases ?
Lifestyle diseases affect individuals of all age groups, but they are more prevalent in adults and the elderly due to prolonged exposure to unhealthy habits. However, with the rise of sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy diets, even younger individuals and children are becoming susceptible to these conditions. Those at higher risk include: Kidney stones may contain various combinations of chemicals. The most common type of stone contains calcium in combination with either oxalate or phosphate. These chemicals are part of a person’s normal diet and make up important parts of the body, such as bones and muscles. When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but when it falls into the ureter, it acts like a dam. As the kidney continues to function and make urine, pressure builds up behind the stone and causes the kidney to swell. This pressure is what causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms of a kidney stone are resolved.
