Are diabetic and hypertension age linked problems? Popular, and perhaps convenient as that theory may be, it is not true. While once upon a time it was assumed that heart attacks happened to older people, or that wear and tear to the body with age reduced its ability to generate and deal with insulin, we are a more aware audience today. Scientific research and advances have revealed many secrets of the human body, and we understand the various forces which work on the body directly and directly, some of which may be responsible for hypertension and diabetes as well.

  1. Hereditary — certain genetic and hereditary factors may lead to a greater susceptibility to hypertension and diabetes.
  2. Environmental Factors — hard to believe as this may be, the environment does play a role in diabetic and hypertension related problems.
  3. Poor Lifestyle Choices — this is the biggest culprit when it comes to hypertension and diabetes today. Easy access to tasty yet unhealthy processed and fried foods (full of salt and sugar), high-stress work environment, little to no time to work on physical fitness, and neglect of mental health — all these directly contribute to modern-day lifestyle diseases, hypertension and diabetes being the more common among them.

As you can see, age is just one amongst the many players. So, the question — are diabetic and hypertension age related problems — has only one answer, NO.

Does that mean that prevention and control of hypertension and diabetes is not possible?

Absolutely not. Simple changes to lifestyle can go a long way in prevention and control of hypertension and diabetes. Adding the right body movements, figuring out the right eating plan and keeping your doctor in loop all contribute immensely to controlling, and if started at the right time, preventing development of these diseases — even in cases where genetic factors or environmental factors are at play.

What is important is to find the right program to get to you on the right track. The doctor, the dietician, and the physiotherapist, while three experts in their own fields, must come together to design a custom-made program which works best for you. The more natural your healing process, the healthier you will be. This is the advantage which Vrriksha offers — a comprehensive yet affordable program, accessible from wherever you are. While creating a tailor-made solution for you, we also provide access to group training sessions — this helps build a community feeling and adds to the motivation.
