Do you know that six out of ten people worldwide are suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or the so-called lifestyle diseases? Among those considered as NCDs are cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. It is because of our unhealthy lifestyle and the foods we eat everyday. Most of us are so busy working to earn a living and pay all the necessary bills especially now that we are in a very difficult global economic crisis. Thus, due to stress add up the lack of proper exercise, pollution and the food we eat, majority of the human population are suffering from non-communicable diseases.
We all know that it would also be difficult for us to get away from that stressful lifestyle. But if we will just try to alter some bad habits little by little, definitely we are going to succeed. Let us start with the food we eat. I am aware that eating on fast food are most convenient than preparing your own food. But if we will always keep in mind the unhealthy consequences of eating them, surely we can find a way to turn away from them.
Also try flax seeds. They are a good source of Omega-3 ALA, and it also contains protein, dietary fiber and lignans-and all of these components together create synergies beyond the sum of their parts. milled flax seed is the best way to tap into all of its nutritional benefits. But you can also consume
whole flaxseed because of its nutty taste and texture. ALA is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and can reduce the risk of diabetes or cancer.
