Do you know what is a chronic disease ?
Do you know what is a chronic disease ? It is a disease or condition that is persistent or long-lasting in its effects, or a disease that comes with time. Typically the word "chronic" is used when the course of the disease lasts for more than 3 months. Many chronic diseases are caused by a short list of risk behaviours: - Tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. - Poor nutrition, including diets low in fruits and vegetables and high in sodium and saturated fats. - Lack of physical activity. - Excessive alcohol use.
