There
are risk factors that attribute to chronic disease because of the nutrition in
one’s diet. Nutrition is directly linked to chronic diseases like cancer,
diabetes, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Diets that are found to be high in
added sugars, salty and pickled foods, and saturated or trans fats put you at risk. Diets that are also low in fruits,
vegetables, and other foods rich in fiber and phytochemicals or diets low in
micronutrients are at risk of chronic disease.
There
are other risk factors such as age, genetics, tobacco use, stress, sedentary
lifestyle, and environmental contaminants (Sizer & Whitney, 2011). The
interrelationship among all of these risk factors indicates that nutrition
underlies chronic disease, malnutrition, and death. So what are these chronic
diseases that we can get from our diet or lack of?
A
few of the common chronic diseases are cardiovascular diseases like
atherosclerosis which can lead to heart attack or stroke. An embolism is
usually the cause but for it to occur there must be arterial damage, plaques in
the arteries, and/or inflammation (Sizer & Whitney, 2011). An embolus, or
blood clot travels and when it get stuck in an artery in the heart or brain the
result is heart attack or stroke. Another CVD is hypertension which can make
atherosclerosis worse and increase your risk for heart attack or stroke.
Next,
is the connection between nutrition and cancer. “For the great majority of
cancers, lifestyle factors and environmental exposures become the major risk
factors (Sizer & Whitney, 2011).” If you are a smoker and I’m not just
addressing cigarettes, you are increasing you risk of cancer. Just as well, if
you are overweight, eat red meats and fiber-rich foods, and/or consume quite a
bit of alcohol you are putting yourself at risk of the disease, cancer.
Lastly
is how nutrition has a direct connection to diabetes. Diabetes is a risk factor
for CVD and thus can lead to death. A person with diabetes is more likely to
speed up the progression of atherosclerosis which leads to the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
To
conclude this blogs part of the final I wanted to share the effects of
nutrition and disease as I’ve seen it recently in my life. It is no longer in
my face where I have to worry about my love (my now ex-boyfriend), because the
nutrition in his diet is killing him. He is a diabetic, and when I was with him
he would have me rub his legs and feet because he couldn’t feel the blood
circulating. “In diabetes, atherosclerosis progresses rapidly, blocking blood
vessels, and diminishing circulation (Sizer & Whitney, 2011).” Now,
according to Sizer & Whitney (2011), when heart disease occurs in
conjunction with diabetes, the condition is likely to be severe. In fact, any
loss of control of blood glucose, even a transitory one, can be costly in terms
of the condition of the arteries. From there, and as I am no doctor I fear for
this man as he is at risk of CVD which may result in a heart attack or stroke.
