Proper nutrition plays a key role
Many diseases can be prevented or delayed if the person follows a healthy lifestyle. As they say ‘Genes load the gun, environment pulls the trigger.’ This means that somebody might have a predisposition such as diabetes, but if the environment is suitable through a balanced diet and increased physical activity, this can delay the disease to appear or not to appear at all.
The modern lifestyle and the incorrect diet behaviors that often come from childhood/ adolescence may often cause an unstable eating or can do overeating episodes if the person has anxiety/ stress.
