South Asia’s Health Crisis: You can exercise, eat good, and can get enough sleep. But there is one thing you cannot escape. This is your southern Asian legacy. Where you come from, where you come from, when it comes to health. Many people do not know skeleton and dangerous health risks associated with the southern Asian. Do you know that more than half of the world today are the South Asian? And this is just the beginning.
You must have seen someone around your family or around me who eats and remains active. Still, there is a very shorter than the age of our expectation, the development of heart problems and diabetes. It is a frustrating reality for many southern Asian people. But it is not just about individual habits, it’s about history.
History filled with trauma, Akal and Decretion strategies who can now collide our modern lifestyle. Today, South Asian people have heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and kidney disease rate. And it is not just South Asia. The United States, born in the United Kingdom and Canada and the largest south Asians were more risky than many other ethnic groups.
Dr. Mukin Said, his book ‘Healing Favorite: Hao Colonial-Ara Faminz Lead to be affecting the health skirts. Dr. According to Mukin Saeed, the roots of health crisis in South Asia are in colonialism. But it is not just a theoretical argument. History, epidemic and social cultural evidence supports it.
Maximum risk of heart disease: South Asian people have a heart attack and high risk of stroke, at a young age.
Growing Prevention of Sugar: The South Asian people are more likely to be a sugar, whether their weight is normal.
Diseases at an early age: many health problems that are usually older, the southern Asians may begin in young age.
Hidden Risk: Sometimes, South Asians appear to be healthy from outside, their internal health risks.
Deep influence of British rule
South Asia, in which India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Maldives, Nepal, Maldives and Afghanistan, has faced many large health challenges. Everything is very common to infectious diseases and non-contagious diseases and non-contagious diseases (such as diabetes and heart disease). Let’s talk about colonialism. Colonism means when a powerful country occupies another weak country and rules. Britain ruled the most part of South Asia for about 200 years. It had a profound effect on our health. And some of its main reasons may be.
Weaker nutrition
When the British came to India, their main objective was to rob wealth and resources here. They changed the agriculture, trade and industry here in this way they can benefit the maximum benefit. The result was that people did not get enough food to eat and scattered malnutrition. There were poor people.
During British colonial rule, cash crops (eg cotton, nile, opium) preferred. This made the local agricultural system weakened and often continued toile Akal. Between the 18th and 20th century, the colonial India faced many Akalites killed millions of people. This is the victims of the southern Asian people suffering or malnutrition. This can lead to Epjanetic changes where stress, poor diet and Akal is not just one generation, but their descendants of their descendants.
What is ‘Thrifty Jean Theoret’?
Scientists have been proposed for a long time that there is often developed his exposed to the ‘ThripT Jean’. This means genetic tendency to store fat and use caliaries efficiency. When the sugar and fat full of fat is available, the body stores it. This ‘Thrifty Jean’ today can help the South Asian people explain the high rates of diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome, whether they do not have much weight.
Ignoring health needs
For their convenience, the British focused on the health facilities that were useful for their soldiers or their own people. Health services for ordinary people were not rare or present. No significant investment was made in cleaning, drinking water and basic health centers. This disease began to spread and people continued to die without treatment. Even after independence, the public health health infrastructure continued. Rural areas were neglected. Even today, health services in rural areas are not available for everyone. Even if they are available, their situation is very poor.
Lost self-reliance
Colonialism completely changed the social and economic architecture. Self-reliance existed in the villages. People had to go to the cities in search of work, where they often lived in the crowded and unclean areas. This endangered the risk of spreading diseases. Moreover, they did not encourage our traditional medical systems, which led to the choices of treatments available for people. The indigenous systems of the medicine was on or rejected or rejected. The British did not pay great attention to health education. When people are not aware of their health, they do not know how to stop diseases. As a result, the Congress and diseases were easily spread.
Modernization and globalization
After independence, the southern Asian countries quickly modernized. Due to urbanization, the Western diet trend has to increase and worked hard. Processed food and cold drinks became part of our diet. Diseases caused by fat food and new lifestyle.
For the urban people in South Asia, this change was very fast. They were not ready, it affected their health. Why does it still have an effect? Today, even after so many years, the effect of colonialism can be seen. Our health systems still stand on the male foundations that were not so strong. Poverty, inequality, education and insufficient health facilities are still bigger challenges in South Asia. It is not wrong to say that the roots of current health crisis in South Asia are mainly in colonialism. It not only weakened our economy, but also deeper and negatively on the people’s lifestyle.
