What is diabetes and what causes it?

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not function properly when it produces insulin. Maybe it does not produce enough insulin that the body needs, otherwise the pancreas does not use it effectively.

Insulin has the task of regulating the body’s blood sugar level. Irregularities of this hormone can therefore cause an increase in blood sugar. This means that diabetes is not necessarily high blood sugar levels, but the inadequacy of the pancreas to handle insulin. 

If diabetes is not controlled, it can damage some organs or systems in the body. In some extreme cases, some of the lower limbs may be required to be amputated.

By the year 2030, the same organization estimates that  diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. This is why it is so important to take care of and regulate blood sugar levels.

Why take care of cholesterol levels?

Maintaining normal levels of cholesterol is also very important for good health. Cholesterol is a substance that is found in all the cells of the body and it is necessary for the whole body to function properly. However, when there is an excessive amount of this substance, it mixes with other substances and clogs the blood vessels.

When the blood vessels become clogged, a condition called arteriosclerosis occurs  . This can cause a dangerous, cardiovascular disease.

The WHO confirms that  cardiovascular disease is the deadliest in the world, with 17 million victims. At the same time, a significant group of people diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia do not receive proper treatment or control.

If you want to reduce the risk of getting a cardiovascular disease, it is important  to be careful about what you eat. Avoid having an inactive lifestyle on a daily basis, and start moving your body so you can improve your quality of life.
