Family Health And Nutrition In 21st Century

Around a century back, in our grandparents’ time, it was rare to find anyone overweight or suffering from lifestyle disorders like diabetes and hypertension. People were very healthy and fit and had abundant stamina for the whole day. But today, one in four people is believed to be stricken with either Type 2 Diabetes or obesity or heart disease. They do not have even half the energy levels our ancestors’ had. This raises a question in our minds. Where did we lose our way? Being aware of your family health history is an important part of a lifelong wellness plan.
