In most of the literature it is found that diabetes and obesity are hereditary diseases.....But I don't so. these diseases can be considered as one of the lifestyle diseases and increasing rapidly with Modern lifestyle without looking whether the ancestors had it or not. What do you say?

All Hereditary diseases is questionable. Epidemiological studies indicate that there is always exceptions to this class of diseases. So , we must consider; genetic and epigenetic together.
Hi Pradeep. Lifestyle diseases can run in the family for two reasons. 1. Family members turn to have common exposures and exposure patterns. 2. Epigenetics is when environmental factors influence changes that are then passed to the offsprings.
yes both are hereditary from our family members through transform of gene coding
Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune disease, which may have a hereditary link, but can be caused from environmental factors such as glyphosate or even vaccines (see MMR package insert).
Diabetes type 2 is generally thought of as an inherited but can be reversed by diet & lifestyle. Researchers from Sun Yat-Sen University in China investigated the case of pre-diabetics and the dietary intervention that may reverse DM2. Researchers concluded that GL (Glycemic load) reduction is associated with a lower diabetes risk in pre-diabetic patients.
Herbs & spices can also help prevent/mitigate DM2 •

No. Obesity is definitely not a hereditary diseases. And actually obesity is not a disease. It is a side effect of our body's protective reaction against infection or other stress - the upregulated autophagy. It becomes a problem when our adipose tissue cannot accept any more fats, and the fats becomes ectopic fats. Daily regular restrictive eating is compulsory for morbid obese people.

Experience observations show that obesity clusters in families, so it is genetic. depending on the type of diabetes, yes, it could also be genetic. Life style only facilitates what is already made possible by genetics.
