Health has inter-dependencies
Health is not an isolated subject
Health experts believe that many serious diseases are due to unhealthy dieting habits and inactive life-style.
Broadly, there are four major factors, which have immediate and long-term impacts on our health.

Whoever and however we are – is because of our genes
The effects of genetic factors on health are difficult to prevent or reduce in many conditions (e.g. hemophilia, thalassemia).
Many common diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases and some cancers have also genetic association. However, these diseases can be largely prevented or reduce their complications by adopting healthy dieting habits and active life-style.
