Seven Most Common Chronic Illnesses

Posted by Preferred Benefits on July 1, 2008

Did you know…the seven most common chronic illnesses are:

 

·           Hypertension

·           Heart disease

·           Lung disease

·           Diabetes

·           Stroke

·           Mental illness

·           Cancer

 

In reviewing this list, we see that several of these chronic illnesses could be prevented by making different lifestyle choices. For example, the incidence of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes could be greatly minimized by following nutrition guidelines and exercising regularly. Other chronic illnesses, such as lung disease and some types of cancers are directly related to activities such as smoking, unprotected sun exposure and other lifestyle choices.

 

We know our inherited genes play a part in our overall health and likelihood to develop certain conditions, and we can’t change those. But, we can make educated decisions about how we live our lives to try to prevent chronic illnesses. Make a commitment to your health, become informed about good lifestyle choices, then you can live and feel better.
