Why Are Children Now Falling Prey To Deadly Diseases.? by Aladdin1(m): 11:04pm On Nov 24, 2014 |
My experiences at a university teaching hospital in a south-south state of Nigeria made me to realise the fact that there is a growing increase of children developing some deadly disease which were previously only very common in Adults. A visit to the peadiatrics ward of any large hospital would reveal to you a gruesome picture of children in agony battling with life threatening diseases like diabetes, stroke,kidney failure and cancer. Even many children are being killed every now and then by these diseases. As a scientist am well aware that these diseases may affect children but i am really alarmed at the rate at which children,teenagers are falling prey to diseases that hithertho was only common in older people. |

The two crucial factors that can be attributed to this malaise are Diet and Lifestyle. Virtually all the foods around are either processed or preserved with one chemical or the other. Hardly can you find fresh natural foods, even the so called fruits and vegetables are grown using harmful chemicals in form of fertilizers. Coming to lifestyle, when i was younger i was always an active boy. I engaged in virtually all kinds of sports ranging from football to sprint races. I always look forward to my school's interhouse sport competitions but what do you have now. Lazy, over-weighted kids that would prefer playing videogames or watching dstv than exercising themselves via playing football,skipping.cycling,jogging e.t.c. And these are the same children that would rather go for a jug of ice-cream than taking a rich blend of fruits.
