To what extent are chronic illness and lifestyle linked?
This infographic looks at a common misperception regarding invisible illness: that all types of chronic illness are lifestyle-related.
The truth is, no matter how well we eat and how much we exercise, there’s no guarantee of continuing good health. Genetics and environment play a big role in many chronic illnesses.
This isn’t a reason to stop eating well and leading an active lifestyle as we’re able! Lifestyle does contribute to some common chronic diseases, but not all of them.
Here’s what I found out when I researched this myth.

This is probably the best and only infographic on autoimmune diseases so far I have come across. Though I have written a couple of blogs on the topic but as they say, picture speaks a thousand words, your image is very effective. Kudos!

Thanks! It is hard to explain it to people who have never experienced it, so I made this infographic in an attempt to find clear ways of doing that!!
I applaud the creators of this insightful infographic for tackling the myth surrounding invisible illnesses.
