    (source: everydayhealth)

    Diabetes is a health condition which occurs when one’s blood sugar level is too high.

    Causes:

    The non-communicable disease diabetes is caused because of the following:

    There are three types of diabetes that individuals can get. 

    • Type 1 diabetes is caused when an individual's immune system destroys the insulin-producing beta present in the pancreas. This is caused by various factors, viruses that might trigger the disease or genetic and environmental factors.
    • Reasons like obesity, being overweight, insulin resistance and genetic factors cause type 2 diabetes in individuals.
    • Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes caused during pregnancy due to hormonal changes that women go through apart from lifestyle and genetic factors.
    • Few other reasons that might cause diabetes include genetic mutations, hormonal diseases, usage of medicines or any damage caused to the pancreas or by removing it.

    (source: holistichomeopathic)

    Alzheimer’s disease is a disease caused in one’s brain and it ends up destroying thinking skills, memory and other important mental functions.

    Causes:

    The exact reason why Alzheimer's disease is caused is not yet understood fully. However, at the initial stages, the brain proteins of an individual fail to perform normally, leading to a disruption in the work of brain cells and instead triggering multiple toxic events.

    According to scientists, however, a combination of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors cause an effect on the brain for a long time leading to this disease.

    Symptoms:

    The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are:

    • Memory loss is one of the key symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Apart from that, they might even face difficulty in concentrating and thinking
    • Repetition of questions and statements over and over

    • Having trouble being part of conversations, expressing thoughts or choosing the correct words of action
    • Misplacing possessions and placing them in illogical locations
    • Forgetting conversations, events and appointments and being unable to remember them later
    • Not being able to remember names of family members and daily objects

    Treatment:

    To prevent this non-communicable disease, health professionals use two ways.

    • The usage of drugs in the form of medication is the first way to treat Alzheimer's. The two types of drugs used in this treatment are Cholinesterase inhibitors and Memantine (Namenda).
    • The other treatment method is creating a supportive and safe environment for the individual having Alzheimer’s disease. Friends and family members of the patient should try to create an environment that is helpful for the individual.

    Ways to Prevent:

    These are the ways one can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

    • One should stop smoking.
    • Individuals should restrict themselves on alcohol consumption.
    • One should eat a healthy diet which consists of fruits and green leafy vegetables everyday.
    • Individuals should regularly exercise for at least 150 minutes per week.

    6. Arthritis

    arthritis diseases
    (source: everydayhealth)

    The main causes of arthritis include:

    • Obesity
    • Muscle weakness
    • Autoimmune disorders
    • Wear and tear of a joint from overuse

    • Strange sensations, unusual smells or tastes, tingling feeling in an individual’s arms or legs

    Treatment:

    Treatment methods include:

    • Medicines known as anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs)
    • A procedure that puts a small electrical device inside the epileptic person's body to help control seizures.
    • A special diet is formulated, which often is a ketogenic diet that might help control seizures.
    • Sometimes surgery is carried out to remove a small part of the brain of the epileptic person, which will reduce the seizures.

    Ways to Prevent:

    To avoid having epilepsy, one can do the following-

    • One should prevent from getting any traumatic brain injuries by riding a bike/motorcycle safely or step correctly to avoid falling down.
    • One should take preventive measures to lower chances of having heart diseases or strokes.
