Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MS is characterized by the destruction of myelin, the fatty substance that covers and protects nerve fibers, as well as damage to the nerve fibers themselves. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
MS is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide, with women being affected more than men. The age of onset for MS is typically between 20 and 40 years old, with symptoms varying from person to person. Some individuals may experience mild symptoms, while others may experience severe symptoms that greatly impact their daily life.

Stress management is also essential for people with MS, as stress can exacerbate symptoms and lead to other health problems. Stress reduction techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness can help manage stress and improve overall well-being.
Getting enough sleep is another critical aspect of a healthy lifestyle for people with MS. Sleep disturbances are common in MS, and lack of sleep can worsen symptoms like fatigue and cognitive problems. Developing healthy sleep habits, such as keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and creating a calming sleep environment, can help improve sleep quality.
