Sedentary work and improper nutrition: a doctor explained what worsens the health of Kyrgyzstanis

During the holiday season, many indulge in an abundance of food, including fatty dishes, salads with mayonnaise, and alcohol. This combination can have a serious impact on health, as the body struggles to cope with the increased loads. Mamiraim Jumbaev, head of the gastroenterology department at the National Center for Cardiology and Therapy named after Mirrahimov, suggested in an interview with Birinchi Radio to consume more vegetables and fruits and to avoid overeating during the holidays.

He noted that during the holidays, medical institutions often encounter patients suffering from the consequences of overeating and alcohol abuse.

According to the expert, in Kyrgyzstan, a stable level of morbidity has been observed over the past few years, which can be divided into two main types: functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (about 75%) and diseases with organic pathology (approximately 25%).

The main factors contributing to these problems are lifestyle and nutrition. Unfortunately, physical activity in daily life has significantly decreased: sedentary work in offices and a sedentary lifestyle at home negatively affect health.

Functional diseases are usually not associated with pronounced changes in the body and largely depend on lifestyle. Organic pathologies that patients face can be divided into three groups: diseases of the stomach and duodenum, liver and biliary tract diseases, as well as intestinal diseases.

Jumbaev also pointed out alarming statistics: stomach cancer has become the most common disease in Kyrgyzstan among both men and women. Previously, this type of cancer ranked first among men and third among women, but the situation has now changed.

Additionally, the specialist highlighted non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which affects nearly one in three people worldwide, including in Kyrgyzstan. Given the current trends in lifestyle and nutrition, Jumbaev warned that there may be a global epidemic of liver diseases in the future.
