Abstract

Lifestyle disorders are the major health issues observed all over the world. They can be defined as diseases linked to one’s lifestyle. These are chronic and are not transmitted from one person to another, also known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The major causes for dealing with NCDs are poor dietary intake, lack of physical activity, sleep variations, chronic stress, undesirable behaviour and addictions of different types. Most countries are facing this problem with increased death rates in the population. The major lifestyle diseases include diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, respiratory disorders, and cancer. With increased modernization, the prevalence of NCDs has increased, and the quality of life has been affected. Treating these diseases is both time-consuming and expensive. Lifestyle disorders are preventable if the proper nutrition is followed. The review focuses on ways to prevent the risk of developing NCDs in adults and improve the quality of life of patients with the help of modern nutrition.
