Young People Facing Lifestyle-Related Health Issues

Here at Kofuku, we speak nothing but the truth! Lifestyle diseases don't care if you're young or old; they are way more inclusive than Di Caprio himself.

Young People Facing Lifestyle-Related Health Issues

Introduction

Fathima, a 22-year-old hard-working accountant, knows she's healthy. How, you ask? She regularly exercises, eats all three meals a day with equal amounts of veggies and proteins, and even goes out with her friends once or twice a month. That's why it came as a massive surprise to anyone who knew her when she got admitted for heart problems. She's only 22! She should be as far as possible from a heart condition. That's only a concern for older people, after all! Fathima knows she's healthy and still couldn't understand why she was in a hospital on the cusp of getting her whole lifestyle upheaved.

If you, too, believed this, then you would be as disappointed as Fathima to know that, in many cases, age and lifestyle diseases are not related at all. Continuing to believe that these health issues are solely the domain of our grandparents will be not only harmful to us but also to our children.

While it's true that the risk for many lifestyle diseases gradually increases with age, these conditions are already creeping up on our younger generations at an alarming rate.
