Causes Of Diabetes

most diabetes causes are created in us by our own hands apart from the ones inherited from our parent . The list below explains better: the causes of diabetes includes:

Heredity: the act of transmission of the physical and genetic qualities of parents to their offspring; the biological law by which living beings tend to repeat their characteristics in their descendants. This means Diabetes can be transferred from the parent to the children according to Genetics. It runs in the family as they say. Of the total diabetics, more than 46 percent give a family history of the disease,  this tends to be all true particular for type 1 diabetes which begins at childhood.

Obesity:  Your risk of having diabetes goes markedly high if you have excess weight. It is said that, "in diabetes,  heredity loads the cannon and Obesity pulls the trigger". This saying clearly indicates the close relationship between Diabetes and Obesity. It is not an exaggeration to say that Diabetes is the lawful wife of Obesity.  NOW! How do you know if you are overweight? It is when you are 20 percent or more than the ideal weight for your body frame, height and age.

Very Poor Diet:  You are what you eat. Food can maintain or save life, it can also destroy life. Proper food serves the purpose of medicine while improper food works as poison and causes diseases. A philosopher has rightly said that, " very few people die of starvation; the rest die of improper selection of food. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we dig our own graves with our mouth. The question is HOW IMPORTANT IS PROPER DIET? how many thousands today are in our overcrowded hospitals, who never would have been there but for wrong eating. How many have inadvertently been committing slow suicide with their knives and forks. So the message here is to choose the right food to eat and in a moderate form. Don't eat too much because the body only needs a little.

Sedentary lifestyle:  people are used with the habit of waking up in the morning , take their bath and drive to work thinking that is enough. This is so wrong, you need to do some exercise to warm your body. During physical work like exercising, muscles use up a lot of glucose present in the blood. Consequently, the work-load on the pancreas is reduced. When man lives a sedentary life, I believe he is on his way to diabetes.

Side Effects of certain Drugs: long term use of certain drugs like cortisone ( a type of drugs used for arthritis, respiratory disease, Asthma, and skin disease ) contraceptive pills and combination of some other drugs can produce Diabetes by harming the pancreas. Don't know why self medication has now become the order of the day for some people, people would rather go see a pharmacist than go see a doctor. This is wrong (am sorry to say). Even as tiny as headaches, whatever ailment your are experiencing. It is the best opinion to let your Doctor be aware as fast as possible either by phone call or direct eye to eye contact. The wrong use of drugs, as well as long term use of some drugs can damage the pancreas. Also, alcohol use can invite diabetes. Years of heavy alcohol intake increases your risk of developing diabetes. So also is smoking cigarettes.

Failure to drink sufficient water: A person can die faster if deprived of water than if deprived of food. By drinking water you are regulating the body's natural fluid levels. Diabetes seems to be the end result of water deficiency in the brain.When the urge for intake of water builds up in us, we confuse it with hunger; instead of drinking water, we go for food. So we overeat. We eat when the body wants water. The result is we overeat and soon become overweight. And overweight causes diabetes.
