A silent killer

-

It’s alarming to know that the number of diabetic patients has doubled over the last 15 years. The World Health Organisati­on estimates that around 347 million people are affected by diabetes worldwide.

Obesity, lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits lead to this disease. Stress is also a reason for this silent killer disease.

Let us make sure we exercise regularly, avoid junk food, and not lead sedentary lives. Regular check-ups and a controlled diet will make us healthier. Prevention is the only way.
