Lifestyle disorders is a rather broad term for medical conditions which are a result of one’s diet and lifestyle choices. It covers a wide range of cardiovascular, hormonal and vascular disorders. These conditions include stroke, obesity, and heart attacks. 

The primary medical conditions which are a result of our choice of lifestyle include-

1. Diabetes- Diabetes is a result of dysfunction of metabolic processes. It refers to the presence of high levels of glucose in the blood. This might be a result of an inadequate production of insulin in the body. Or the more likely, it is the result of a diet that is high in saturated sugar and fats. A lack of physical exercise would mean that these glucose and sugar molecules are not being metabolized to produce energy. Hence the elevated blood sugar levels.
2. Thyroid Problems- Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism occurs when there is an imbalance in the level of the thyroid hormones. These elevated or reduced hormone levels are most often a result of our dietary choices. Deficiencies of essential nutrients and vitamins such as Iodine, Vitamin D, antioxidants, and Vitamin B12 can cause hypothyroidism. Deficiency of Omega-3s, proteins, and antioxidants can increase the risk of hyperthyroidism.
3. PCOD- PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) which is a disorder of the endocrine system. A diet which does not have a proper balance of carbohydrates and proteins, or which is low in fiber, can cause PCOD, by causing hormonal imbalances.
4. Hypertension- Hypertension or high blood pressure is most often a direct result of our lifestyle choices. Excessive weight gain, as a result of poor diet and a lack of exercise, can cause hypertension. Cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption can also cause hypertension. Caffeinated and artificially sweetened beverages can also increase the risk of hypertension.
