Life style disorders can be defines a set of clinical pathological conditions that are mainly caused due to factors arising from adaptation of the sedentary lifestyles. such disease are very common in day to day life.
Most of the causative factors of the diseases are due to stress etc and due to adverse effects of the modern life.

The gross national product of India is updated yearly averaging from 277.336 USD from December 1957to 2023 which consists of 67 observations. which reached its all time high in 2023 which categorizes India in a set of high gross national product countries.
This gross national product is most contributed the tertiary sector of country consisting of several sectors such as transport ,financial services ad real estate activities. most of which are upper middle class.
However despite the sedentary lifestyle the higher middle class suffer much less from the lifestyles diseases. a new study shows occurrences of these non communicable disease are mostly seen in the lower middles class or the poor people of the country.
The treatment of such diseases puts a heavy loads on the economical loads of these people which are unable to diagnose as well as undertake the medication schemes for the diseases. in fact the lifestyle diseases costs Indian economy of 6 trillion dollars estimated by a study.
Globally on the global hunger index India is ranked 111th out of 125 countries. 52.4 %i below poverty lines lives in urban areas verses the 47.6 in rural areas. most of the people are hence unable to carry out treatment of the disease due to financial problems.
Hypertension is one of the man lifestyles disorders seen commonly. in fact 220 million people in India are living with hypertension and only 12% have their blood pressure under control. The disease kills more adults than most diseases.
Dr H.C Allen has explained the usage of the Homoeopathic remedy called Nux Vomica in cases of bad effects of coffee and tobacco and heavy use of alcohol.
The remedy is mostly suitable to thin irritable careful and zealous characters along with quarrelsome nature and other characters.
The common characteristic is that of being competitive nature that which is common.
Humans operate on survival instincts over the years, not only survival but to evolve. which proves that humans are in fact competitive in their personality, which is a fundamental pillar of evolution.
