Your body is an amazing phenomenon with various interlinked systems working in harmony. If one of these systems fails, the others will slowly follow.
Your heart, kidneys and metabolic system (maintained mainly by the pancreas) are some of the main organs that play important roles in these systems. The one is greatly dependent on the other to keep functioning properly and keep you healthy.
The damage generally starts early in life and gets worse over time. For some, the damage becomes evident earlier than for others. But ultimately, we know it ends in poor health and disease.
How your health could slowly deteriorate over time 1
Healthy lifestyle choices ensures a healthy body.
Unhealthy lifestyle causes unhealthy weight gain.
You may develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol and start showing risk of developing diabetes.
The damage affects the organs, and you may develop heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes.
Your main organs depend on each other to function properly 2
When the heart gets damaged
The heart is a pump, and the blood vessels are the tubes with which the blood reaches the whole body to keep it healthy and make it work properly.
The role of the kidneys
The kidneys work like filters which remove waste and excess water from the blood before it flows back to the heart. The kidneys filters roughly 190 litres of blood per day.
Understanding Diabetes Mellitus
Our body’s cells need fuel/energy to function, survive and thrive. Our fuel comes from the food we eat, which is digested in the stomach and flows into the blood stream as glucose, a form of sugar.
Healthy balanced diet
A healthy, balanced eating plan is made up of a variety of foods from each of the food groups, preferably eaten at every meal (mixed meals).
Exercise and healthy movement
The ideal goal for a healthy body is to get some kind of movement in every day of your life.9
