Dear Editor,

Exercise is the systematic execution of physical activity for a specific purpose. At rest, in humans, skeletal muscle receives between 15% and 20% of the cardiac output, while during maximal exercise, this percentage reaches values of 80% to 90%.[1] Exercise places great demand on circulation.

Type 2 diabetes has always remained one of the perturbing chronic diseases which cause numerous mortality rates globally. Proper and recommended dieting as well as lifestyle modification has been one of the approach in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Adherence to these nutritional approaches from several studies have shown positive results in the delay of the progression of these disease. More so, an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes is associated with overweight and obesity, physical inactivity and high intake of saturated fats. Therefore, recommended nutritional diets and regular physical activity remains the part and parcel of the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

To abate the spread of coronavirus, decisions were made one of which is restrictions of movement and public gatherings. This has led to drastic increase in poor lifestyle behaviours that are detrimental to health such as physical inactivity, these behaviours augment the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in individuals including patients with asthma. Asthma is well established as a risk factor for developing CVDs. Patients with asthma were physically inactive, limiting outdoor activities and regular physical activities during COVID-19 lockdown makes them more inactive. Therefore, these pandemic exposed individuals who are asthmatic to high risk of developing CVDs.

Dear Editor,

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.[1] The national Diabetes Data Group (2000) indicated that DM consists of three different types, which include: Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes.[2]

Type I DM also used to be referred to as juvenile diabetes or insulindependent diabetes and it is due to the destruction of β cells of the pancreas.[3] Also, Type 2 DM was previously referred to as “adult-onset diabetes”. It is used to be called non-insulin dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes.[4] Here, the pancreas usually produces some insulin, but the insulin might not be enough or the body cells get resistant to it. As such, the body cannot utilize the insulin that is released.[5] However, the third type of diabetes mellitus is the gestational diabetes, and it occurs when pregnant women without a previous history of diabetes develop high blood sugar levels.[6]Read more...

Dear Editor,

Depressive symptoms, such as extended feeling of sadness, decreased selfesteem, suicidal propensities, unconcern in activities, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, low energy, difficulty in making decisions, sleep disorders, anxiety, petulance, and changes in eating patterns are related with an increased risk of health conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia.[1] Women of childbearing age of about 22% have been estimated to have experienced depression at some point in their lives and pregnancy is a vulnerable time for depression compared with other periods of life.[2]

Depression is found to be higher during pregnancy than that in the postpartum period of childbearing women which was shown to be 10% - 30% prevalent in several studies.[3] Progesterone and oestrogens are found to be in large quantity during pregnancy period and are likely the cause of depression during pregnancy, it influences the neural structures that are known to be important in regulating mood by raising the sensitivity to changes in levels of b-endorphins and dopamine.[4] Read more...
