Unhealthy Diet Became The World's Largest Mortality Cause

There are many benefits that can be gained from maintaining a nutritious diet, a balanced diet, which includes the addition of energy, controlled weight, and lower risk of diabetes.
Although many people are already well aware of the importance of eating green vegetables and reducing processed foods, the health risks of not doing so are still not fully understood.
A study underscores the serious impact of bad nutrition on our health, and in some cases, even the death of the stakes.
Reported by the Medical Daily page, Tuesday, September 19, 2017, even about one in five deaths in the world in 2016, because the diet is wrong. Thus, making this mistake as one of the biggest killers, according to a study titled The Global Burden of Disease.

"In particular, eating foods that are low in whole grains, fruits, nuts, fish oil, and high salt are the most common risk factors," the team wrote in a report published in The Lancet medical journal.
Later, the report continued, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high body mass index, and high cholesterol, were the top 10 death risk factors for men and women globally.
All of these factors can be caused by bad eating habits, as well as other causes. Smoking is the only other risk factor contributing to the onset. Reportedly smoking has killed about 7.1 million people in 2016.
"It's very big, Smoking is one of the big problems in the world, it's a worsening cluster," said lead researcher Dr. Christopher Murray, Director of the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluatin (IHME) at the University of Washington.
The findings also show that people can live longer, but more years in their lives are spent in a state of illness.
"Death is the most powerful motivation, both for individuals and countries, to express a disease that has killed many people, but we are less motivated to disclose issues that cause illness," Murray said.
The findings also show that fewer than five million children under the age of five die in 2016, compared to more than 16 million children in 1970.
"But despite this increase, we face a triad that challenges many countries and communities, obesity, conflict, and mental illness, including disruption of substance use," Murray added.
The IHME study is a collective effort of more than 2,500 researchers analyzing data from over 100 countries. Data from several countries is more comprehensive than other countries, so researchers use estimates to fill in missing information. Their findings were published in a series of five reports
