As a matter of fact, it's such an irony. The more affluent we are, the more prone we find ourselves to succumb to these lifestyle diseases. There are 366 million people who contracted diabetes (mostly type 2) and 1 every 7 seconds deaths from diabetes worldwide and 60 of the sufferers are Asians. The report is from Straits Times dated 15th Sept. 2011. Furthermore, the president of International Diabetes Federation Mr. Jean Claude Mbanya said "Diabetes is a massive challenge the world can no longer afford to ignore." The irony is this, while we suffer, the pharmaceutical and naturapathic healers etc earned $44 Billion global sales of diabetes medicine last year.
So with the affluent lifestyle comes with a cost. However, I must say that this could ALL be avoided if we knew fully well that there are preventive ways we MUST take in order to be channelled into this slippery road of losing our health, which is our wealth!
So there is hope to reversing all these diseases. We must know as believers of our Faith, the Authority the God has given to us. After the healing, we must also live a balanced lifestyle! No more going around a 'sin' by indulging in sweet and carcinogenic goods and foods.
I believe many of us knows that but the hardest part is to follow through. That's where we must subject our minds to the spirit man who will control our minds and thereby the body.
We will talk more of that....next post.
