Today’s youth face a silent health crisis in the form of lifestyle-related disorders. Conditions like obesity, early-onset diabetes, hypertension, and stress-related illnesses are no longer limited to older adults. The root causes often lie in long hours of screen time, irregular eating patterns, processed food consumption, and minimal physical activity. As medical students, it is vital for us to recognize these early trends and encourage preventive steps. A shift towards balanced diets, active living, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene can significantly reduce risk. Building healthy habits in youth means securing a healthier future.
