Riya The idea is good; your paper falls short on the use of researched material.
You may want to consider revising this if you havent started on another essay. See

Heart disease 89/136

According to the American Heart Associates Center in 2008, heart disease represented 30
percent of overall global deaths, with 80 percent of those deaths taking place in low- and middleincome countries. Nearly 787,000 people in the U.S. died from heart disease, stroke and other
cardiovascular diseases in 2011. Heart diseases claim more lives than cancer does. Overall costs
of heart diseases and stroke adds up to $320.1 billion or more than that. This includes health
expenditures and lost productivity. Almost around half of all African-American adults have some
form of cardiovascular disease, 48 percent of women and 46 percent of men (American strokes
Associates).Womens have higher amount of ratio in compare with mens because of more
emotional and physical stress. Heart disease is a very serious problem in 21st century, even
though after lot of problems related to heart disease there are solutions to that prevents people
from becoming a victim of heart diseases.
Most times the heart disease tend to build up since years before people gets it .There are
different reasons to get heart disease such as it can be hereditary problem, it can also be caused
due to the damage of arteries or blockage which causes heart attacks and stroke. This builds up
depending on the reasons such as peoples eating habits , depending on how physically active
they are, how much they weigh or how well they manage their stress level. The expert MD from

University of John Hopkins Seth Martin says that these basics of a heart-healthy life are as easy
as ABCDE: Assessing your risk, Blood pressure control, Cigarette cessation and Cholesterol
control, Diabetes treatment and Diet optimization, and Exercise. The goal is to reduce the
overall risk of heart disease and disease related to that.
Basic heart disease leading problem for humans is smoking regularly, high level
of cholesterol, obesity and no physical activities. About 43 percent of Americans have total
cholesterol higher of 200 mg/dL or higher. Some solutions is taken by government in order to
decrease the rate of heart disease among citizens of U.S. Solution plans for heart disease can be
done by giving health related education that focuses on prevention and healthy lifestyle choices,
medical services that provide the most effective drugs and therapies without paying a lot of
money and environmental policies work sites, and communities that promote good nutrition,
regular physical activity, and also setting up boot camps . Research published in the
journal circulation in 2011 found that improved fitness over a six-year study period was
associated with a 19 percent decreased risk of heart disease and stroke-related deaths in men
and a 15 percent lower risk of death from any cause.
According to the NIH even though the risk associated with the heart disease has
increased tremendously since 2010 to 2015, the statistics shows that there has been some
decrease in the rate of heart disease because now a days all the diseases can be easily detected in
earlier age and precautions can be taken to remove risks by doing exercise for 60 minutes every
day, by quitting smoking, by performing yoga, doing regular body checkups, and reducing
obesity. In 2010 the overall percent of heart rate were below all time in compare to 1900s ( The
National Healthy Worksite ). People who are economically challenged can also take part in
reduction of heart disease programs because government along with lots of donation franchises

contributes heavy amount fairly enough for everyone to become part of the camp. In 2012, NIHs
Fogarty International Center awarded $14 million to 15 research institutions to fund training in
research areas related to NCDs in developing countries to prevent heart disease. ( The National
Institute Of Health : Return on Inverstment).
There are lots of ways to take implementations for preventing heart disease. All
people need to do is take some time out of their busy schedule and workout every day for at least
30 minutes. Julie Corliss Chief editor from Harvard University said that performing yoga
decreases the stress and controls the blood pressure and releases good hormones. Whenever
people feel stressed out all they have to do is maintain good healthy diet when needed and quit
smoking and alcohol consuming regularly. This process is not expensive or mentally challenging
to perform. All they costs is a pen or a reminder in phones to get everyone on track. It only
benefits and not affect negatively to anyone and also that this procedure does not cost thousands
of dollars .
