I read about this yesterday and then today after talking to one of my friends here.
So I went again to read online. It said that cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death, followed by coronary diseases. The third cause are all cancers put together. And cardiovascular diseases double the amount of deaths of the other two.
Cardiovascular diseases have to do with a lot of ailments that have to do with the heart, including high blood pressure that so many people have.
Take care, friends. Cardiovascular diseases are the big Cs.

@rakski Maybe more than half of the adult population have hypertension. It has to do in part with poor eating habits. There are pills that help and diets if you treat it.

@marguicha most of the people are not aware of this. Hypertension is the silent killer if remain untreated.

I currently don't have any heart problems, thankfully, but that could always change. That is the number one reason why I want to lose weight.

@Srbageldog I put about 20 pounds when I quit smoking. And another 20 when I lost all my energy due to chemotherapy. I´d be happy with 20 pounds less.

@marguicha My dad has heart problems, so it worries me that I will also wind up having them.

At least I have already survived cancer, as it seems.

High blood pressure is so easy to check that it is a shame it is not done more. And people should be aware of the risks of being overweight, for instance.

Yes cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer disease but it can be prevented by medicine and proper diet and lifestyle changes. But cancer is still a mystery disease that baffles science how we get it and why. There’s so many theories but still there’s no valid explanation. Maybe that’s why it’s called the big c since to this day it is a mystery to many scientists.

There are many kinds of cancer. Some are very aggressive and others you can live with.
