With these illnesses eradicated, ideally, there shouldn't be anything to worry about health-wise, but according to the CDC and the United Nations, we couldn't be more wrong.
In September, the UN General Assembly held its first ever chronic disease summit, which highlighted heart disease, cancer, stroke and lung disease as a major cause of death worldwide. Although these conditions are very serious, they are also quite preventable, which is why experts believe that the public needs to take steps for their own personal health, before this international health issue becomes a full blown crisis.
Dr. Janet Brown, dean of the College of Nursing at Valparaiso University told the Northwest Indiana Times, “We could do a lot to help ourselves. We’re much better at helping people once they have a chronic disease live with it rather than prevent it. The road to getting people health is long and arduous.”
However, the prevention of chronic disease is surprisingly easy. These healthy habits can not only increase your chances of a longer life, but they will leave you looking and feeling great in the process.
