Diabetes: Diabetogenic Environments
Western society is referred to as diabetogenic, places where
people have easy access to high fat, high calorie foods and
others, these ones do not have to work hard or to walk to get
this kind of products.
Many doctors suggest that diabetes may be reduced by societal
changes; they argued that inactivity and energy abundance in
"diabetogenic" societies confer a reproductive advantage to men
and women that are able to cope with the lifestyle that they
live. Humans that live in an environment where food is difficult
to obtain main that physical activity is involved.
Changing the human biology it is not possible at time, but
changes to the way that neighborhoods are built may be done;
giving to people all sorts of drugs is a policy that not going
to work for all of them, exhorting people to change their
lifestyle is the right way.
A populations` ability to cope with this kind of environments
depend of many factors, such as;
- Exposure time - They have been protected - Stable food supply
- Developing food policies - Promotion consumption of less
energy dense food - Incentives to companies to develop healthy
foods - Building environments that promote activities
If we keep building diabetogenic environments, we can not expect
that people's behavior will be different that environments tell
them to behave. It must be natural to people to behave another
way.
Diabetes may reduce fertility; increase the risks of earlier
death. Consequently, countries must be aware and preoccupied
about the environments that they are designing and developing,
if people are able to cope with these ones, they are more likely
to have children, grandchildren and ultimately
great-grandchildren.
Conclusions; there are other risks that diabetes might produce
like the ones mentioned above, but in this case we are talking
about how we are building diabetogenic environments. To say,
places where the inactivity and unhealthy foods consume are
promoted actively. Consequently, developing a diabetogenic
society, manipulating environments - not individuals - is the
best way to stop the epidemic of diabetes.
