what can you do if you have chronic disease
Being overweight or obese is a factor in more than 20 different chronic diseases. Learning techniques such as eating smaller portions, minimizing eating out, eating fewer products high in sugar, substituting lower fat versions of high fat foods, eating more fruits and vegetables and getting adequate physical activity, are among the healthy choices a person with a chronic disease can make.
Visit your health care professional regularly. If you are prescribed medication, take it. If you are experiencing side effects from the medication inform your health care provider. It may take time to find the right medication for you but it's better than dealing with the effects of an untreated chronic disease.
