Here’s how you can prevent, manage multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects around 2.3 million people worldwide and can cause blurred vision, slurred speech, tremors, extreme fatigue, problems with memory, balance, and walking, and carrying out day-to-day tasks. Drink coffee The findings of a 2015 US and Swedish study found that drinking 4 to 6 cups of coffee a day may lower the risk of multiple sclerosis. A 2016 study published in JAMA Neurology also suggested that vitamin D deficiency while pregnant could increase the chance of children developing multiple sclerosis in later life. Maintain a healthy weight Research published last year in the journal PLOS Medicine suggests that obesity in early adulthood could increase the risk of developing multiple sclerosis later in life.
