IDF: in every 6 seconds a person dies of diabetes and two new persons develop diabetes

Shillong, June, 19: Diabetes is a slow and a silent killer disease. It is a very ancient disease but recently has become a matter of serious concerned because it has reached an epidemic level in the last few decades only. Today more than 380 million people are living with diabetes in the world. And more than 65 million are in India itself. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in every 6 seconds a person dies of diabetes and two new persons develop diabetes.

Although diabetes has become a serious hazard, it can be prevented since it is a life style related disorder. By understanding the importance of healthy diet, advantage of physically active life and remaining stress free by practicing Raj yoga Meditation, one can achieve victory over this deadly disease and can lead a better  life.

Pharmaceutical management is only a part of the management of this disorder. More importantly the patient must understand the disease and make dietary and life style changes and actively participate in managing the killer disease himself. Since the family members are also at a higher risk of developing the disease due to similar eating habit and life style, they must understand the disease to prevent themselves. Not only that they should support the patient but also having thorough knowledge of the problem.

Therefore, education and creating awareness amongst people is the most important aspect in controlling the epidemic of diabetes and many such non-communicable diseases like High blood pressure, Heart disease, Stroke and Cancers etc.

Considering the above fact, the Medical Wing of Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization has started a health movement  throughout the country, not only to teach meditation to make people stress free but also educating people to create an awareness regarding healthy eating habits and positive life style to prevent such diseases.
