Chronic diseases have long been plaguing the North -Americans, which HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has called an “epidemic”.
The Maha Commission, which Kennedy Chairs, published a report on Thursday that evaluated chronic diseases, especially related to children.
It is estimated that 133 million Americans suffer at least one chronic disease, according to the American Hospital Association.

“The report shines a necessary point of view on a crisis that has long been ignored: obesity rates, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, development problems and mental health challenges,” said Kelly McKenna, CEO of the chronic coalition disease, who was in the White House for Launch, told Fox News Digital.
“North -Americans live shorter, more sick lives despite the record expenditure of other nations developed by orders of magnitude,” he said. “Maha’s agenda faces this disconnection.”

McKenna added: “With the North -Americans increasingly aware of the role than factors such as ultra -processed foods, environmental toxins, stress, trauma and evil sleep in chronic diseases, the demand for action transcends partisanship.”
Most common diseases in America
Andy Tanner, DO, a family medicine in Virginia in the west, said he is seeing more chronic diseases in patients, noting that his state is the “oldest and largest in the country.” Thursday was also in the White House.

“The biggest things we see are diabetes, hypertension and obesity, a kind of” trifecta “, told Fox News Digital.
About 38.4 million Americans had diabetes by 2021, according to diseases control and prevention centers (CDC), with excess sugar that caused common symptoms of fatigue, blurred vision, hunger and thirst.
“North -Americans live shorter, more ill lives despite record health spending.”
Tanner works with his diabetic patients to change his diets and improve blood sugar levels.
“”[But the] The sad thing is that we are surrounded by bad food, “he said.” It’s hard to take good options for what we eat and we are all guilty of this. “

Many people think that diabetes is just a “sugar disease”, he said, but it can become a vascular problem as it progresses, often causing coronary heart disease or stroke.
The doctor said he is seeing “younger and younger” patients with diabetes.

Given his association with “Bad Food”, diabetes goes “hand in hand” with obesity, according to Tanner.
Maha’s report linked increasing obesity rates to the consumption of ultra -processed foods, which include almost 70% of the calorie consumption of North -American children.
Tanner said that obesity can lead to the diagnosis of other chronic diseases, including hypertension (high blood pressure).

“Sometimes people with hypertension arterate and denounce fatigue, headaches, sometimes a blurred vision, sometimes with very high blood pressure,” Fox News Digital told Fox. “They may have some very serious symptoms of stroke or heart attack.”
Hypertension is known as the “silent murderer”, said Tanner, because many people do not know that he has the condition.
Smart actions to do
In most cases, the resolution of chronic diseases begins to achieve regular physical activity and eating the right food, said Tanner.

“Diet and exercise are so important,” he said. “These are so easy things to prescribe doctors, but it is much more difficult for patients to achieve.”
Added: “[It’s] Sometimes it is difficult to go home and prepare a good healthy meal and it is easier to get to things that are not healthy. “
“If our bodies are not healthy, our brains will never be,” said a health expert. (Istock)
Psychiatrist Daniel Amen, MD, CEO of Brainmd in Los Angeles, also attended during the announcement of Maha’s report.
“Chronic disease devastates mental health,” Amen told Fox News Digital. “Increases the stress hormones that damage the brain, it disrupts sleep (which disables 700 genes promoting health) and increases inflammation, which can cause anxiety and depression,” he said.
