Promoting Healthy Lifestyle

The important role of physicians in all specialties is to keep people from getting sick as much as possible in addition to treating patients. And physician should take any opportunity during patient visit office to provide guidelines on healthy lifestyle, which includes: 1- Don’t smoke. 2- Eat healthy. 2- Be active & exercise 3- Keep your body weight close to normal. 4- Have enough sleep. 5- Manage stress in positive was. 6- Take care of your oral health. 7- Manage any chronic illness. Root-caused of most chronic illness is metabolic dysfunction and no medical cure of metabolic dysfunction except healthy life style behavior. With globally increase Obesity, Fatty live, and Diabetes mainly in some countries in Middle East like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait; so there is big role for physicians and health care personnel to educate people, and community the risks of practicing unhealthy lifestyle and increases chronic illness in society and ultimately carry cost on health care and cripple upcoming generations. As physicians we should spread light on root-caused of Obesity as result of metabolic dysfunction; so, I have found the importance to give this lecture in conference. And as pediatrician we started facing morenon-alcohol fatty liver and type 2 diabetes in children; I really feel us big responsibilities to deal with these crises.
