Nutrition and Chronic Diseases

There is a connection between nutrition and chronic diseases. What we put into our bodies can either increase or decrease the chances of obtaining a chronic disease. 
It's very important to eat healthy and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I know that this is easier said than done, but it is very important to give it the best effort, possible. The choices that we make can impact our overall health both positively and negatively. 

Watching what we eat and exercising can impact us in a positive way. This can decrease our chances for diabetes, thyroid problems, etc. along with allowing us to have a higher self-esteem.

Our choices can impact us negatively, as well, and if we let our health down and consume foods that aren't good for our body, we can become obese, we can get diabetes, have a higher chance of cancers, have thyroid problems, etc. and we can have a lower self-esteem. 

Being healthy doesn't only consist of the foods that we consume, but it also has to do with smoking, drugs, and alcohol as well. These substances can have a negative impact on our overall health, as well. We also need to get a decent amount of sleep each night, and to do some type of physical activities each day. 

Malnutrition can lead to deficiencies, which can lead to greater problems. It's very important to eat the correct amounts of foods, and the correct types of foods. Malnutrition can lead to problems with ones vitamin levels, and this can lead to even great problems, depending on which vitamin level it is that is low.

Overall, the lack of proper nutrition and exercise can lead to chronic illnesses, and/or death. This is why it is so important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
