Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep disorders, stress-related obesity, and some forms of cancer can be listed in the lifestyle-related diseases section. These tips will help you reduce your risk:

Any excess is harmful to your health. Excessive consumption of sugar, salt and oil can lead to serious consequences like diabetes, blood pressure and heart disease (due to high cholesterol). Reduce your intake of these 3 components in your diet.
