If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney problems, you are at risk for kidney disease. Kidney disease is serious, but if you catch it early, you can slow it down or stop it. Ask your doctor to check your kidneys.
South Asia basically refers to India and the few countries around it. It is known as a subcontinent as it was not originally part of the landmass known as the Asian continent. This can be seen from the presence of the Himalayas.
You will see that India is on a peninsula that juts out into the Indian Ocean. Because India is so large it is refered to as a sub continent instead of a peninsula. Florida is a peninsula but much smaller than India. Arabia is also large but it is refered to as the Arabian peninsula.In fact of all the peninsulas in the world India is the only one refered to as a subcontinent. Actually there is no definition of a subcontinent but by custom India is the subcontinent (the only one).irst, it is more than just India. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka are also part of the Indian subcontinent. The area is thought of as a subcontinent because it is large enough and takes up most of the Indian tectonic plate, and because of its rich history.
