A Person’s lifestyle determines many of the health issues that they might face. Joint pain, back pain, diabetes and high blood pressure are some of the critical health issues this part of the world faces due to their lifestyle.

For example, knee pain is more common in the Arab world in particular as their lifestyle includes sitting crossed legged on the floor. According to a study done by Timez5, knee replacement surgery is one of the most common surgeries in this region, its ratio is actually higher than the rest of the world where hip surgery is more common.

Studies show the last few generations have more health related issues than the generations before, this is due to the number of hours employees spend on their desks, the lack of movement by students who are always under pressure from school, and the introduction of video games that stopped children from playing outside.

Unfortunately, due to this modern lifestyle of sitting for long hours, driving everywhere and not moving much, some of the most important and intimate details of a person’s everyday life has been affected, details like the ability to spend time with loved ones and praying pain-free.
