Human Health and Diseases-Non-communicable Disease-Degenerative Disease

Introduction: 

Almost every genetic variant that has already influenced disease risk has human-specific origins. This influenced system has ancient roots that trace back to an evolutionary event when the birth of humans was done. As an increase in the human population, there are many common diseases and some genetic diseases. These are caused by environmental, genetic histories, cultural and demographic results. Nowadays, medicinal help is also increased. There are many medical facilities now as compared to the ancient days.  There are many communicable and non-communicable diseases. Let us know about Degenerative diseases in detail below. Read till the end for deep understanding and knowledge. 

What is Degenerative Disease? 

There are many diseases caused to the human body in various ways. These diseases result in a harmful health condition and must be cured in time. There are specifically two ways through which diseases can be caused that are: 

1. Communicable Diseases 

The contact of one person causes these diseases to another in multiple ways: through the blood to blood contact, inhaling the infected air, orbiting an insect. 

2. Non- communicable Diseases 

These diseases are not caused by any contact of one person to another directly. These diseases include osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, cataracts, diabetes, heart attacks, etc. 

Non-Communicable Diseases:

These diseases can also be called chronic diseases. These diseases last for a long period, caused by any genetic problem or through environmental, behavioral or psychosocial factors. The main diseases are cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancers and diabetes. 

These diseases are caused due to unhealthy lifestyles, unplanned urbanization and an aging population; unhealthy diets also lead to rising blood pressure or increment in glucose levels in blood or obesity. Poverty is also the main cause of noncommunicable diseases. Poor people don’t have any earnings to protect themselves from these diseases. As a result, these diseases hit socially and economically disadvantaged people as they consume many harmful products like tobacco, unhealthy food and have very limited health services. The treatment of non-communicable diseases it’s very expensive and cannot be cured by everyone. The time duration of these diseases also lasts a very long time and therefore, the amount of money in these diseases’ cure is very costly. 

What is degenerative disease? 

People wonder what a degenerative disease is. So, Degenerative disease is based on changing cells that affect the organs and tissues, which will rapidly degrade over time. The type of degenerative disease is also related to aging. If you suffer from these diseases, a normally living lifestyle and normally wearable clothes can worsen your disease. Mainly these diseases are caused due to genetic problems. The cause of these diseases is viruses, chemicals or poisons. Many of these diseases are incurable.

Degenerative diseases affect many regular body activities, such as talking, movement, breathing, balance, and heart functioning. The type of degenerative diseases is genetic also. Sometimes it’s due to some unknown reason. 

What is Neurodegenerative disease? 

These diseases are caused due to loss of neurons with protein deposition and causes damage to the brain and in some peripheral organs.

Types of defensive degenerative disease:

• Lewy Body disease
• Friedreich’s disease
• Spinal muscular atrophy 
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Parkinson’s disease
• Amyotrophic disease

This also includes very serious nerve disease or a threat to life. Many of these don’t have any cure. The treatment of this disease might provide relief, less pain, increment of mobility, or improve symptoms

What are the Symptoms: 

There is probably a sharp or constant pain in your neck and back. The exact symptoms depend only on the person’s weak disk and other causes. 

The pain can occur in your lower back, upper thighs, or buttocks. It can last for a long period, or sometimes it doesn’t take time and fly away. You’ll feel worse whenever you start to walk or sit for a long time or when you bend yourself or lift something.  

It might get better when you find a comfortable position to lie down.  Sometimes, you may feel tingling in your legs and arms. It makes the muscles weaker and may damage the area that affects its nerves. What is degenerative disease?  It is a chronic condition that is caused due to improper diet, unhealthy environment, improper movements. These diseases lead to a longer period. These diseases make the person take care of himself more than usual. There are many types of degenerative diseases that, if not taken seriously, can lead to disabilities, including muscular dystrophy, arthritis, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. 

Conclusion: 

Diseases for the human body are a risk to everyone. Treatment of these diseases is expensive, and therefore, some people can’t afford it. Therefore one must keep themselves in an environment where they are not prone to diseases and live a safe and healthy life. If someone is facing these diseases, you must take care of them and change their lifestyle for better improvement. Changes can be done by doing modifications around the environment the person is living in and inside the home, planning something where the mobility is less, moving closer to the family members to get full care and purchasing the necessary speaking or mobility aids.
