Poor Diet, Poor Habits

Poor diet is associated with poor habits and if they’re in combination, they affect the patient's health, affirms Dr. Milton Jimenez, Primary care Physician with West Kendall Baptist Hospital. Sometimes, both can cause obesity, and obesity is a cause of risks of many other health problems such as hypertension, cancer, dementia and diabetes, the doctor describes. He recommends the Mediterranean diet, because there is scientific evidence proving that it is effective and it decreases the risk of many diseases, and there is less incidence of Parkinson and dementia, he says.
