Lifestyle disease

[3] It can be critical for the patient's health to receive primary prevention and identify early symptoms of these non-communicable diseases.

Substance use disorders, such as tobacco smoking, and excessive consumption of alcohol, and a lack of or too much exercise may also increase the risk of developing certain diseases, especially later in life.

[10] Rates of colorectal, breast, prostate, endometrial and lung cancer started increasing after this dietary change.

People in developing countries, whose diets still depend largely on low-sugar starchy foods with little meat or fat have lower rates of these cancers.

Smoking tobacco, alcohol use and other substances, violence, and unhealthy weight have impacted the Australians' death rate.

[16] Lifestyle diseases have their onset later in an individual's life; they appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer.

[23] Examples of moderate exercise include a brisk walk, swim, bicycle ride or it can also be everyday life activities like mowing the lawn or house cleaning.

[24] In addition, studies have suggested that early life exercise can reduce the risk of developing metabolic diseases in adulthood.

[25] All causes of lifestyle disease can be prevented through giving up smoking and other substances, reducing one's intake of alcohol, processed meats (like bacon and sausages), red meats (like pork, beef and lamb), fatty foods and by engaging in daily exercise.

However, new studies also show preventive effects on recurrent respiratory tract infections in children through the intake of unprocessed food.
