"We're all vulnerable. And I hadn't thought about that previously. I thought, oh, it's only a small group of people who might fall for this. What I've learned is actually [that] these scammers are so sophisticated. They have so much money. Based on my reporting, this industry, you know, is maybe more lucrative than the illicit drug trade, and these criminal syndicates might be making over 500 billion US dollars a year.  So that means they have access to the latest technology, whether it's voice cloning or face changing software. They can buy  the latest in AI tools. they can stay several steps ahead of most law enforcement organizations in most places in the world, and, you know, re-invest in their businesses, because that's how they view what they're doing. They just see this as a business line, and they want to make a profit. That's why we called the podcast Scam Inc, because I think the way to understand what we're seeing is that this is an industry and everyone's driven by profits. So the fact that the criminals have so much money makes it really difficult for governments, police or international organizations or banks or crypto exchanges or social media companies to tackle this huge and growing problem." - Sue-Lin Wong Fresh out of the studio, Sue-Lin Wong, Southeast Asia Correspondent for The Economist, joins us to uncover the dark world of online scams and how they've evolved into a $500 billion global crime industry. She shares her investigative journey behind Scam Inc., her latest podcast series, revealing how cybercriminal syndicates operate like multinational corporations—leveraging AI, crypto, and human trafficking to fuel their scams. Sue-Lin explains why Southeast Asia has become a hub for these illicit operations, the psychological manipulation that makes anyone vulnerable, and the deep-rooted connections between scamming, money laundering, and political corruption. We discuss the Kansas bank collapse, the rise of pig butchering scams, and how law enforcement struggles to keep up with decentralized criminal networks. Closing the conversation, Sue-Lin highlights what individuals, governments, and financial institutions must do to fight back against the next wave of AI-powered fraud.

A 2022 report from the International Labor Organization estimated that 50 million people were trapped in modern slavery with 28 million engaged in forced labor. Some of the most well-documented and egregious cases include Uighurs detained in Chinese work camps, and, North Korean prisoners. But forced labor is a global epidemic present even in the US, Europe, and Australia. In this episode, I speak with attorney Martina E. Vandenberg founder and President of The Human Trafficking Legal Center. Martina has testified before senators and worked with Human Rights Watch in a 20-year career that has taken her to Bosnia, Ukraine, and elsewhere as she has worked to tackle the scourge of enforced labor and human trafficking.    Guest: Martina E Vandenburg Human Trafficking Legal Center Music: Pixabay   维吾尔族集中营。 북한 강제 수용소 김정은 뚱뚱하다    

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy used to talk about loneliness as a public health crisis. Now he says it's an epidemic that urgently needs our attention. The World Health Organization agrees with him. Now as co-chair of its newly appointed Commission on Social Connections, Dr. Murthy has an even bigger platform from which to advocate for change, encouraging us to reach out and ask for help while also offering it to others who may need it. He joins The Excerpt to talk about why this problem is so persistent and what we can do to fix it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of In the ARENA, I am joined by Michael Askew, Co-Founder and CEO of the Belong App. Michael and his co-founder recognized the large number of people who suffered from loneliness, including himself.  With a mission to help others, the Belong App was born and has seen significant success in the last 2 years.  Key podcast topics: The importance of community How to raise capital Challenges of being an entrepreneur Michael's biography: Michael moved from London to Riyadh in his early twenties to work as a Project Manager. He traveled there alone and quickly realized that meeting new like-minded people was very challenging, to say the least. After living in Riyadh away from his family and friends, Michael began to notice a negative impact on his emotional and mental wellbeing. He then moved to Dubai and believed that it would be easier to meet new people. In reality, it wasn't and it became apparent that others were facing similar challenges. As a result of this, Matt and Michael came together to bring this concept to life that is needed in today's world.  Podcast highlights: 00:00 Introduction 03:20 Life in Saudi 07:02 The importance of community in combating loneliness 09:30 Entrepreneurship from a young age 12:05 The beginning of Belong24:55 Raising capital 31:31 The Gladiator Mindset 32:51 The challenges of being an entrepreneur 38:24 How to find a founder 40:49 The feature that pivoted Belong's success 52:03 The value Belong provides 59:00 Expanding to the United States 1:05:31 Activating cities and events 1:13:59 Plans for the future 1:15:01 Investing in startups and business advice 1:35:30 Boxing and traveling Stay Connected: For more enlightening interviews featuring Gladiators and titans of the industry, make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

This week, the World Health Organisation launched a new Commission on Social Connection. It may sound like an online dating group; it's not. The Commission aims over the next three years to focus on ways to address the ‘pressing health threat' posed by a global epidemic of loneliness. Loneliness is considered a health issue because it has serious impacts on our mental and physical health. Research shows it can increase the risk of heart disease, arthritis, type-2 diabetes, and can increase the risk of premature death and accelerate cognitive decline. Earlier this year, the U.S. surgeon general published an advisory claiming the health risks associated with loneliness are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. So how did we get to the point where something each and every one of us should be able to do something about needs to be recognised as a global epidemic and health threat? Covid gave us a reality check - our children were isolated from their peers, workers isolated from office culture, and our elderly isolated from family and friends. It's something we should all be aware of. What's interesting about what the World Health Organisation has come out with is that rates of loneliness are similar all over the world, regardless of a country's status and level of income. And we've already seen some countries take it seriously – in the UK a Minister of Loneliness was appointed in 2018. Apparently the announcement was greeted with humour on both sides of the Atlantic, but since then the Japanese Government and the Victorian state Government have done the same, in 2021. It turns out they were on the money when they recognised this growing issue. We've been measuring loneliness in New Zealand for a while. The latest survey in May found younger people (aged 15-24) are more likely than other age groups to be lonely. It makes sense; we're not just talking about social isolation, but also social alienation, a feeling of not ‘fitting in' which so many young people struggle with. The other demographic who struggle are older people. Yesterday, Newsroom ran an article from researchers Claire Dale and Susan St John talking about who is going to care for us when we grow old – the article deals with a different subject, but their stats were eye opening. “By mid-century the numbers over 65 years are expected to nearly double (from 790,000 in 2020 to around 1.4 million). The baby-boomers will all be over 85 where the numbers roughly treble (from 88,000 in 2020 to around 300,000).” If we're going to care for this 'looming tsunami of older baby boomers' then the WHO is onto something. Maybe starting to think about strategies for dealing with loneliness – for all ages - now isn't as silly as it sounds. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mathilde TouvierSanté publique 2022-2023Collège de FranceColloque - Nutritional Determinants of Health: Recent Research Discoveries and Translation into Public Health Action : Nutritional Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases in the Omics EraIntervenant(s)Pr Frank Hu, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Mass., USARésuméNutritional epidemiology plays a critical role in understanding the relationship between diet and risk of chronic diseases. With recent advances in omics technologies including genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and metagenomics, there are new opportunities to explore biological mechanisms underlying diet, metabolic pathways, and health outcomes. In my presentation, I will discuss our efforts to incorporate omics technologies especially high throughput metabolomics into our large cohort studies including the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals' Follow-up Study as well as the PREDIMED trial. The integration of omics data in nutritional epidemiology holds great promises in identifying novel biomarkers for dietary intakes and predicting future disease risk. The repeated measures of diet enable us to examine long-term relationships between dietary factors and chronic disease risk and whether these associations are mediated or modified by individuals' metabolic profiles. These analyses have the potential to facilitate more effective precision or personalized nutrition interventions. Continued efforts and collaboration are necessary to fully leverage the potential of omics data in nutritional epidemiologic research and chronic disease prevention.Franck HuDr. Frank Hu is Chair of Department of Nutrition, Fredrick J. Stare Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Hu received his MD from Tongji Medical College in China and MPH and PhD in Epidemiology from University of Illinois at Chicago. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Nutritional Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Hu's major research interests include epidemiology and prevention of cardiometabolic diseases through diet and lifestyle; gene-environment interactions; nutritional metabolomics; and nutrition transitions in low- and middle-income countries. Currently, he is Director of Boston Nutrition and Obesity Research Center Epidemiology and Genetics Core and Director of Dietary Biomarker Development Center at Harvard University. He has published a textbook on Obesity Epidemiology (Oxford University Press) and >1400 peer-reviewed papers with an H-index of 290. He served on the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Preventing the Global Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease, the Obesity Guideline Expert Panel, American Heart Association Nutrition Committee, and the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, USDA/HHS. He has served on the editorial boards of Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, Diabetes Care, and Clinical Chemistry. Dr. Hu was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2015.

Recently – David Brooks of the New York Times – wrote about the suicide of his close friend—Pete—and the feelings that followed. Brooks writes that experiencing the suicide of someone close “is not just sorrow; it is a state of consciousness that distorts perceptions of time, space and self.”In 2015, there were over 44,000 suicides in America – the 10th most common cause of death and rising – I million attempt suicide each year – one every 35 seconds. In the world some kills himself – herself every 40 seconds.Robert Altman's "Mash" [1970] was wrong -- suicide is not painless – it is a health issue that needs to be examined.For this Bar Crawl Radio podcast Rebecca and I talked with two people who study and write about suicide – and with the friends of Jen who recently killed herself.Carla Fine – has spoken extensively on suicide and is the author of the widely acclaimed book No Time to Say Goodbye – about Ms. Fine's husband – a prominent New York physician who killed himself in 1989 when he was 43. Carla's recent book was co-written with Dr. Michael Myers - it's title -- Touched By Suicide: Hope and Healing After Loss.Michael Myers is a leader in the field of suicide and professor of psychiatry at SUNY-Downstate Medical School in Brooklyn. In his 2017 book on physician-suicide – Why Physicians Die By Suicide: Lessons Learned From Their Families and Others Who Care – Dr. Myers shares his experiences of counseling doctors who are considering suicide. If you or someone you know is suffering from a loss due to suicide, consider contacting The Samaritans NYC hotline -- 212 673 3000.This BCR program was recorded in May 2023 at Gebhard's Beer Culture Bar in the UWS of Manhattan.

SummaryMetabolic syndrome is a medical condition characterized by unhealthy and markedly deranged metabolism. Over 50% of United States adults have metabolic syndrome and another 40% are at risk of developing it (90% of US adults!). Metabolic syndrome is the great killer of our time, a global pandemic, and the leading risk factor for most all major chronic diseases. StoryChronic diseases are contagious. This is because thoughts and behaviors are contagious. As fast food companies, ultra-processed food, soda and other sugar sweetened beverages, and the American lifestyle spreads around the globe, so too does metabolic syndrome. Key Points1 Metabolic syndrome is both caused by and can be cured by the way a person lives their life (behaviors).2. Insulin resistance, unhealthy cholesterol, high blood pressure, and weight gain are symptoms of metabolic syndrome.3. The risk of multiple chronic diseases including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and even cancer is increased in those with metabolic syndrome.4. Avoiding ultra-processed foods, exercising regularly, sleeping adequately, and managing stress are the best ways to prevent and treat metabolic syndrome. References-https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/metabolic-syndrome/diagnosis- Lustig, Robert.

After its arrival in Crimea in 1347, it rapidly spread through Constantinople, Spain, France and southern England. By 1350, it devastated Northern France, the British Isles, Germany and the Scandinavian region. It then crept up to Russia, touching Moscow in 1353. It killed an estimated 30% to 65% of European population. Thousands of kilometres in a town in Karnataka, a ritual which takes place every 12 years makes it an important piligrimage site for Jains all over India. What is that 'it' that devastated Europe, and led to the frenzied demand for a foreign plant? What does that have to do with a Jain piligrimate site and the world's most expensive spice. This week we travel from 14th Century Europe to the town of Śravaṇa Beḷagoḷa in Karnataka and discover the connection between Black Death, Bahubali and the world's most expensive spice.

So far more than 1,300 people in Florida have tested positive for monkeypox with the majority of cases stemming from South Florida. The vast majority of infections are in men who have sex with men. As this global epidemic grows, vaccine supply remains limited. The latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates Florida has the third highest number of confirmed monkeypox infections in the country. We'll take a closer look in a conversation with Southwest Florida-based infectious disease specialist Dr. Douglas Brust.

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, we check in on all the major players that have entertained us these past 777 days, and see what they're up to right now. Did you really think that when the crisis subsided and the masks came off that things were going back to normal? They are not. The global elites have wisely used this time to put in place the Mark of the Beast System that Antichrist will rule over. Emmanuel Macron over in France won re-election, and within 48 hours of that victory, it was revealed that all French citizens will now be forced to have a digital ID. The trial balloon that made that possible was watching millions of French people dutifully line up to receive the government injection a year ago. All of these end times events perpetrated against us were done to mentally prepare us to accept what comes now. I have opted out of that mess by reserving my seat on the soon departing Flight #777, how about you? We have finally arrived at Day 777 of 15 Days To Flatten the Curve, and just as if he reads NTEB on a regular basis, Bill Gates comes through once again by calling for a global pandemic surveillance pact with the World Health Organization, and the establishment of the GERM Team, or Global Epidemic Response & Mobilization Team. Thanks, Bill, you're the best!

  Welcome to episode 355 of the COVIDCalls, a daily discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic with a diverse collection of disaster experts. My name is Adia Benton and I'll be your guest host today. I am a cultural anthropologist of public health and medicine in post-conflict and “development” settings at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.  I'm coming to you live from Oakland, California. Today I talk with anthropologist Amy Moran-Thomas, author of Traveling with Sugar: Chronicles of a Global Epidemic .  Amy Moran-Thomas is Associate Professor of Anthropology at MIT, interested in the human and material entanglements that shape health in practice. She received her PhD in Anthropology from Princeton University in 2012, and held postdoctoral fellowships at Princeton and Brown, which is where we met, before going to MIT. Her writing often focuses on the social lives of medical objects. She also works on the cultural anthropology of intergenerational health, planetary change, and chronic conditions; as well as questions of equitable device design, technology and kinship, and the afterlives of "carbohydrates and hydrocarbons" across scales. ​Professor Moran-Thomas has conducted ethnographic and historical research in Belize, Guatemala, Ghana, Brazil and the U.S, supported by the Mellon-American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, the West African Research Association, and the American Philosophical Society. Her first book, Traveling with Sugar: Chronicles of a Global Epidemic (2019), examines the global rise of diabetes as part of the ongoing legacies of sweetness and power -- including how unequal access to insulin varieties, oxygen chambers, glucose meters, dialysis devices, farming machines, coral reef care, and prosthetic limb technologies can become part of how plantation histories live on in the present, impacting lives and landscapes across generations. She is the winner of the James A. and Ruth Levitan Research Prize in the Humanities at MIT, a Diabetes Foot Center Group Appreciation Award; the Curl Essay Prize, awarded by the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the David Schneider Award, American Anthropological Association, among others.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Lawrence Shapiro, one of the authors of "When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People: How Philosophy Can Save Us from Ourselves", to discuss the basic principles of logic, argument, evidence, and probability that can make all of us more reasonable and responsible citizens. Professor Shapiro's research spans philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology. Within philosophy of mind he has focused on issues related to reduction, especially concerning the thesis of multiple realization. His books The Mind Incarnate (MIT, 2004) and The Multiple Realization Book (co-authored with Professor Thomas Polger at U. of Cincinnati, Oxford University Press, 2016) as well as articles in The Journal of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research examine these issues. His interests in philosophy of psychology include topics in computational theories of vision, evolutionary psychology, and embodied cognition. He's published numerous articles on these topics in journals such as The Philosophical Review, British Journal for Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy of Science. His book, Embodied Cognition (Routledge Press), received the American Philosophical Association's Joseph B. Gittler Award for best book in philosophy of the social sciences (2013) and is now in its second edition (2019). His recent interest in philosophy of religion resulted in The Miracle Myth: Why Belief in the Resurrection and the Supernatural is Unjustified (Columbia University Press, 2016).

If diabetes were a country, it would be the third largest country in the world.That's right—there are about 463 million people globally who have diabetes, and only a very small percentage of those people are actually successfully treated and not impacted by comorbidities. When examining this problem, are we considering all contributing factors? Tune in to learn: ·        What ‘social vulnerability' means in the context of health and other inequalities ·        How diabetes is negatively impacting healthcare systems on a global scale ·        How technologies like AI can aid in the understanding of complex biological, social, geographical, and cultural factors impacting health and equality around the world David Napier is a professor of medical anthropology at University College London, where he also serves as the director of the Center for Applied Global Citizenship, and the Science, Medicine, and Society Network. For the past eight years, he has been an academic lead for a program called Cities Changing Diabetes, which aims to research and limit type 2 diabetes in cities around the world. “By constructing this [diabetes] as a purely biomedical problem, we're failing to address what the key drivers of this are, and we're failing, therefore, to develop responses to that disease that will help us to reduce where it's going in the next 45 years,” says Napier. Despite clear evidence of the significance of sociocultural drivers, there is a surprising lack of scientific publication on them. Napier discusses the ins and outs of this global problem, the details of his efforts to address it, and what's to come in the near future.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS AND THE GLOBAL EPIDEMIC OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY is an educational public lecture researched by Academy House Team and edited by Dr Mousab Kassem Azzawi.

Like many Caribbean and Central American nations, Belize is a place where healthy, diverse farming systems have been violently replaced with sugar plantations. The legacy of that dispossession is yet another sugar-related violence: diabetes. Cultural anthropologist Amy Moran-Thomas contextualizes diabetes within a long history of racial capitalism in her book "Traveling with Sugar: Chronicles of a Global Epidemic."

A spotlight on inept people and governments, suppression of unimportant news stories and a drastic reduction in pollution(58:00). A more intense discussion on the silver linings emerges from there and also a long term prospective outlook as to how an event of this magnitude can shape our future (88:45) A recap of where we stood just 45 days ago on all of these predictions and how close we are to what we thought would happen and a History lesson on the Spanish Flu which we both think didn't even come from Spain. (108:00) In the final hour we discuss the possibility of Biological Warfare being the culprit here and the pandemic being not only an act of War but an act of terrorism?! (120:00). We continue on with some comparisons of far deadlier plagues and viruses of the past and Sacha makes a recent discovery that is somewhat alarming (140:00).

Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter welcome Dr. Anthony Fauci, globally renowned epidemiologist and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.

Hikikomori, or extreme social withdrawal/ isolation, was first identified in Japan in the 1990’s. Dr. Alan Teo, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine, and a researcher and psychiatrist in the VA Portland Health Care System, has said that since then, Hikikomori is being seen everywhere, even to young Americans who live with their parents and cut themselves off from society. Dr Teo believes that the condition needs to be regarded as a behavioural problem in its own right, and that the first step toward that is to come up with a definition. With that in mind, he has proposed a new, universal diagnostic criteria for hikikomori and a framework for defining pathological social withdrawal in the digital age. He joins us to discuss more.

Ben Askren of the UFC and John Kim of the Litecoin Foundation discuss the real global epidemic. "Patience is being hijacked by the high speed, instant gratification culture. A deadly virus can spread but with time can be treated and stopped. But the destruction of patience as a virtue by society will have generational consequences. The rate at which this epidemic is spreading is alarming and shows no sign of slowing down." - John Kim

The World Health Organisation has declared that the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic in China now constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. Prime Time spoke to Salma Khalik, Senior Health Correspondent for The Straits Times to discuss the latest on the situation in Singapore and challenges covering an event of this magnitude poses for her.

What began in mid-December as a mysterious cluster of respiratory illnesses has now killed at least six people, sickened hundreds more, and spread to five other countries, including the US.

In 1976 Peter Piot was a 27-year-old microbiologist working in Belgium when he travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo, then called Zaire, to investigate a particularly deadly disease outbreak. He took samples back to his lab and was among the team that first discovered the ebola virus.   Today, he is one of the world's leading experts on epidemics and infectious diseases. This includes HIV/AIDS. In 1995, he was the founding director of the United Nations Program on AIDS, called UNAIDS, and served in that role until 2008. He is now the director of one of the world's most prestigious health research institutes, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.  And on the podcast today, we talk about epidemics and what can be done to avert and contain them. This includes the ongoing ebola epidemic in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,which is now the second worst ebola outbreak in history. And we also discuss what the world has gotten right -- and wrong about both fighting HIV and AIDS and how we define ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic.  We kick off though discussing the kind of nightmare scenarios that most concern Peter Piot. This includes what he calls "the big one."

Disease X n. A dire contagion requiring immediate attention—but which we don't yet know about. In 2013 a virus jumped from an animal to a child in a remote Guinean village. Three years later, more than 11,000 people in six countries were dead. Devastating—and Ebola was a well-studied disease. What may strike next, the World Health Organization fears, is something no doctor has ever heard of, let alone knows how to treat. It's come to be known as Disease X.

I recently watched the documentary , which exposes the hidden story of medical and scientific malfeasance and neglect when it comes to Lyme disease. Thousands of people with Lyme disease go undiagnosed, or get misdiagnosed each year, and many who suffer the troubling effects of Lyme disease are simply told that their symptoms - from brain fog to chronic fatigue to frustrating muscle and joint pains - are “all in their head.” The film follows patients fighting for their lives and livelihoods, and brings into focus a haunting picture of a health care system that is all too willing to put profits ahead of patients. I found the film so incredibly interesting that I decided to interview , who has actually had Lyme disease and dealt with it via completely natural remedies. In this episode, you'll discover: -Why common tests for Lyme disease won't work, and which test actually does work... -Why you can have Lyme disease and not even know it... -How comment, conventional treatments for Lyme disease can actually be harmful... -The best natural remedies for Lyme disease... -How to manage the weight gain that can accompany Lyme disease... -And much more! Resources: - - - - - - Do you have questions, comments or feedback about Lyme disease or natural remedies for Lyme disease? Leave your thoughts at .

“Genocide to destroy their existence in a way that they can no longer continue as a people…genocide is having the attempt even if they don't succeed.”  Roxanne Ortiz There is not a person born in the baby boomer generation that has not been around the pungent smell of weed. Whether you inhaled or didn't whether you imbibed or lied about it or ran for the hills after the film reefer Madness the influence of the national and global psyche about marijuana is prevalent. In the next few years the global sale, distribution and consumption of marijuana will be an out in the open multibillion dollar business--greater than the sale of any substance--possibly outselling wheat and soybeans. But this is not your Grandmother's marijuana.  The weed that will be produced for the masses will be debilitating and addictive.  What we hear about is the mom and pop grow operations and the designer weed  sold in boutique upscale shops, but that ain't the kind that will be sold to those who need a joint for a dollar. Why? Because in the coming years they system will need people to be asleep and if not asleep then lethargic and unengaged. They need weed and any other substance for the next phase of control. So why aren't we talking about low sperm count, genetic alteration of potency and the I-don't-give-a damn-attitude that comes with smoking weed? I know there are many people out there like me in the baby boomer generation that will balk at the idea of weed as a component of mass mental massage. But... let's look if this tactics has been used before so at least we can be informed and not smoke the pipe they have planed for us without knowing what's in it. An Ashanti proverb says: "When the cock is drunk, he forgets about the hawk." So how many drunk cocks will we have in the next decade?  

In episode #224, Cristina Daverio shares her insights into the risk associated with stress at work and what companies can do to help employees manage stress.

While Communicable Diseases have traditionally been responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality in low and middle income countries (LMIC), a rapid shift from rural, agrarian to urban, sedentary lifestyles has resulted in a dramatic rise in the burden of Non-Communicable Disease in these countries. Hence, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and other non-communicable diseases are rapidly reaching epidemic proportions. This poses considerable burdens on the already limited health care resources. Not only are health care professionals in short supply, but their training in the complex management of non-communicable diseases is seriously lacking. Furthermore, certain non-communicable diseases present differently in LMIC countries, including ‘malnutrition diabetes’, a poorly understood entity that probably affects millions of people globally. This highlights the need for new and innovative approaches to treat non-communicable diseases, as well as an understanding of traditional lifestyles and cultures. The ideal approach to prevention of non-communicable diseases in various traditional settings would be to develop cultural sensitivity and understanding, to encourage people to maintain some aspects of their more active ancestral lifestyles and avoid the diseases of modernization.
