intricate, vast and as interconnected as the universe itself. Treating chronic diseases isn’t just about addressing individual symptoms; it requires a deep understanding of the body as a complex, interdependent system.

Historically, chronic diseases were known as “adult diseases,” due to their common occurrence in middle-aged and older adults. However, over the past two decades, they’ve been more accurately recognized as “lifestyle diseases,” because these conditions are shaped more by daily habits rather than age alone. Poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, chronic stress, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyles, and environmental factors all contribute to the rise of chronic illnesses across all age groups. Yet, despite this trend, many people still prioritize work and financial success over their health, only to realize its true value when illness strikes.
