We are living a consumer oriented life in 21st century. The products are being sold today without any check for health related issues. There is no proper awareness for consumers and thus the diseases related to the misuse of daily products is on a rise. My father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year and since then he has been cautious about his diet and lifestyle. But before he was diagnosed he used to consume the sugar-containing products without any check which resulted in predisposition to his disease. Nowadays he has been very cautious about his diet and exercises regularly. His sugar levels are very much maintained. Prevention is better than cure is undoubtedly a very important message and should be implemented at all the levels in community. All the noncommunicable diseases can be prevented at primordial level just by few basic interventions.
