Now a days it is a fashion to say that I have sugar, hypertension etc. The so called lifestyle diseases has caught up the human race so fast that the people without them are rare in the middle and upper income families. The lifestyle of these people is the problem and added to it is the pollution problems, water and air.

Yes. In our place a few years back people really were somewhat like proud to announce that they have those disorders. But not any more I think. Now the fashion is attending some yoga classes, a little jogging and even waqlking. These are all good also. But the main reason for such disorders in many people are their food habbits and life style. The good thing now is that more and more people are aware of these things and they are willing to take precautionary steps. The one major thing that needs immiediate correction is the alchoholic practices of Keralites.

I have allergies, which is something I only recently developed and I think is a direct product of my environment. I know what you mean though, it seems as though nearly everyone I know is on tablets for something.
