HEALTH
PROBLEMS
We will start with the
question, what is a health
problem? It is a problem
related to a state or
process related to health,
manifested by a person, a
family or a community.
Health problems not only affect specific body structures and the physiological or
psychological mechanisms involved, but also have an impact, to a variable degree
and duration, on the overall functioning of the person.
The health sector in Mexico has undergone very important transformations over
time. Life expectancy from the 50s to date has increased by 28 years and we are
currently in an epidemiological transition, where, on the one hand, the fight against
infectious, communicable and parasitic diseases was improved, but on the other,
we are experiencing the appearance and the onslaught of chronic diseases, such
as diabetes mellitus, which has grown 300% from the 1980s to date and has seen
the mortality rate multiplied four times.
-Main health problems in Mexico

1.- Obesity: The biggest public health problem in Mexico is obesity; This disease
affects around 70 million Mexicans, making Mexico the most obese country in the
world; According to WHO data, obesity and its complications absorb around 10%
of the budget allocated to health in Mexico Mexico not only ranks first worldwide in
obesity in adults but also in childhood obesity; more than 4 million children in
Mexico are obese.
2.- Type 2 diabetes mellitus: DM-2 is the main cause of death in Mexico. Since
1998, it had a mortality rate of 43.3 deaths per 100,000 inhab., Which represented
9.4% of all deaths.
3.- Ischemic heart disease: They represent the second cause of death in the
country. According to a cohort study carried out in Mexico City in 2009, in low-
income groups, the incidence of myocardial infarction was 6.6 per 1,000
inhabitants / year in men and 4.8 per 1,000 inhabitants / year in women.
others; Hypertension, Cervical cancer, Breast cancer, Dengue, Influenza.
-scientific advances to lower mortality from

diseases
To treat obesity, continuous
medical and scientific research
has managed to find numerous
treatments that manage to
improve the condition of patients
and make them lose weight and,
later, maintain it. The gastric tube
manages to reduce the amount of
intake and, in addition, it
produces a metabolic effect that reduces diabetes. It also avoids any nutritional
deficits and malabsorption. It has become in recent years the most demanded
technique for the fight against obesity.
Ending cancer has become one of the main workhorses of scientists around the
world. A whole new arsenal of less aggressive and more effective therapies is
being added to the traditional use of drugs (chemotherapy), radiation
(radiotherapy) and surgery against cancer, designed to hinder tumor cells in their
growth and expansion throughout the body.
-Tips to have a healthier life.

To achieve a healthy lifestyle, it is
necessary to take into account health in a
holistic way, since this will lead to a fuller
existence. Below are some guidelines for
behavior and health tips that will help
bring a better quality to our existing
1-. Keep active; A sedentary lifestyle only

brings inconveniences for our body. Find
ways to exercise at home or play sports
outside. If this is not possible, go for a
walk for at least half an hour a day, remember that your heart is a muscle that
needs to be exercised to stay healthy, just like the rest of the muscles in your body.
Exercises, especially aerobics, help you stay healthy, strong, lose weight, prevent
illness, and reduce stress.
2.- take care of your diet; It is not about becoming obsessive about the subject and
counting calories all day, but about having the conscience to choose the best of
foods and thus enjoy adequate health. Look for a way to have a balanced diet,
which does not neglect any necessary food for your body; that is, it includes
vegetables, fruits, white meat, legumes, fiber, and plenty of fluids.
3.- Reduce saturated fat
4.- No smoking
5.- Maintain a balanced weight
