Study Notes
Communicable and Lifestyle Diseases
- Importance of nutrition and environmental sanitization for health.
- Diseases weaken individuals and can lead to disability or death if prolonged.
- Communicable diseases arise from infections (e.g., jaundice, diarrhea).
- Lifestyle diseases stem from unhealthy eating and living habits (e.g., diabetes, hypertension).
- Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease can be controlled but not cured.
Understanding Disease
- Disease is a state of discomfort affecting the body's normal functioning.
- Contamination can occur through:
- Unhygienic food preparation, serving, and storage.
- Dirty hands, utensils, and exposure to houseflies.
- Safe drinking water typically comes from treated municipal sources, while water from wells or ponds may harbor germs.
Transmission of Communicable Diseases
- Airborne transmission occurs when infected individuals cough or sneeze, spreading germs.
- Crowded and poorly ventilated areas increase the likelihood of disease spread.
- Contact transmission can be:
- Direct (touching infected individuals).
- Indirect (contact with contaminated surfaces).
- Common communicable diseases through direct contact include common cold and tuberculosis, while STIs such as HIV/AIDS spread through sexual contact.
Lifestyle Diseases
- Defined as chronic conditions not caused by infections, leading to dysfunction and impaired quality of life.
- Typically develop over long durations, initially presenting no symptoms, but eventually causing health decline.
- Includes diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, which are becoming prevalent even among younger populations.
- Factors contributing to lifestyle diseases can be:
- Modifiable (diet, physical activity, addictions).
- Non-modifiable (age, genetics).
Preventing Lifestyle Diseases
- Adoption of healthier living habits is essential for prevention.
- Healthy practices include:
- Regular exercise: walking, yoga, dancing.
- Choosing stairs over elevators.
- Consuming balanced meals and avoiding overeating.
- Steering clear of processed foods high in sugar, fat, and calories.
- Eating whole grains and a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Staying hydrated with plenty of water.
- Managing stress through yoga or meditation.
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption.
- Engaging in physical activities rather than sedentary pastimes, like TV watching.
Conclusion
- Awareness and education regarding healthy lifestyle choices can mitigate the risks associated with communicable and lifestyle diseases.
