There are many factors that have an effect on our health however, we cannot control some of these factors, such as the individual''s genetic makeup or aging. However, we can mitigate its effects by making changes in our lifestyle. By taking steps towards a healthy life, we can reduce the risk of infection.
Heart disease, cancer, stroke, and many other serious diseases. For example
Refer to the doctor for a general examination regularly, and not only when one is sick.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Eat healthy and varied foods, and reduce calorie and saturated fat intake.
Maintaining physical activity.
Control of blood pressure and cholesterol level.
Quit Smoking.
Prevention of prolonged exposure to sunlight.
an introduction
Most diseases that cause disability and death among people can be prevented or delayed at least, as anyone can reduce the risk of these diseases by knowing them well, adopting healthy habits in life, and carrying out regular medical examinations. This educational program explains the steps a person can take to lead a long and healthy life, by discussing the first ten causes of death around the world. The majority of people over the age of fifty-five suffer from one or more of the diseases mentioned here. And if one suffers from one of these diseases, one can learn that he can improve treatment success. But if he does not suffer from any of these diseases, he can learn that he can take measures to prevent these diseases from affecting his health or the health of the people he cares for. We will count down the leading causes of death. However, the order of these causes varies from country to country. During this countdown, we will ask you to answer some questions. A person is not expected to know the answer to all these questions. If a person does not know the answer to a question, he can guess the correct answer through his information. One will learn about healthy living through this process.
The tenth cause of death
Sepsis is the spread of infection with the blood stream throughout the body. This disease is very dangerous and requires urgent medical intervention. Often hospitalization is necessary, as well as intravenous administration of antibiotics. As the condition deteriorates, this disease can lead to kidney, heart and lung failure, and ultimately to death. Caring for a person with a general health condition can reduce the chance of developing an infection in the first place. If diabetics, for example, keep their blood sugar within normal limits, and regularly check their feet for ulceration, they may be able to reduce their risk of sepsis.
The ninth cause of death
Kidney diseases, such as nephritis, nephrotic syndrome (nephrosis) and nephropathy, affect the function of the kidneys, as these conditions cause the kidneys to lose a lot of protein in the urine, which in turn leads to severe edema. These diseases can be caused by other diseases, such as diabetes and lupus, and they also occur without a known cause sometimes. Control of diseases that affect the entire body, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, for example, can help prevent some kidney disease or slow the progression of these diseases. There are also some medications and adjustments in the diet that can help improve the patient''s condition. Dialysis (i.e. washing the kidneys), or kidney transplantation, may be the last option in extreme cases when the kidneys stop working altogether.
The eighth cause of death
Influenza is a viral disease that can cause pneumonia. As for pneumonia, it is a lung infection that can cause death in elderly patients, especially if they smoke. A healthy lung can fight infectious diseases and recover more quickly than a lung damaged by smoking. Therefore, stopping smoking is essential in improving survival chances after a lung infection. In elderly people, the lungs and heart are healthier and safer than in the elderly, and this explains the deterioration of the condition of elderly patients more than younger patients. Vaccines that protect against influenza and other forms of pneumonia are available they help to gain some protection against these pulmonary diseases that may cause death. Injections are also available against some other diseases, such as tetanus and diphtheria, which are two other bacterial diseases that can cause serious diseases, and may also cause death. The doctor or nurse can be asked about the vaccination services provided for the patient.
The seventh cause of death
Alzheimer''s disease is characterized by the presence of a progressive dementia condition (that is, it worsens over time), as the condition usually begins to forget, but after a period of several years leads to the inability to perform the usual daily work, and leads to residence in the homes of the elderly and death often. There appears to be a genetic component in some cases of Alzheimer''s, so it is most common in families whose members have contracted the disease earlier. There are currently no clinically tested methods for preventing Alzheimer''s disease. However, some medications are available to slow the progression of the disease, but there is no cure yet.
The sixth cause of death
The body gets the energy it needs by burning the sugar it gets from digesting food. But diabetes is a disease that makes it difficult for the body to use the sugars we eat. The causes of diabetes are still unknown. However, there is evidence that he takes a family style more often. Diabetes is diagnosed by the doctor examining the level of sugar in the blood or urine. And a person must check the level of sugar in their blood if he feels tired or lightly the head, or if he urinates a lot, where diabetics have levels of sugar in their blood higher than normal.
The fifth cause of death
Accidents lead to the death of millions, many of them from traffic accidents. The use of seat belts and airbags has increased in recent years, which has led to a sharp decrease in the number of deaths due to traffic accidents. The driver and passenger commitment to wear seat belts is the best way to avoid death from a traffic accident. Also, child seats and strollers should not be placed in the front seats of cars that have airbags on the passenger side. Alcohol causes many accidents that lead to death or disability, including traffic accidents, as alcohol weakens the ability to prosecute, decreases consistency, and the likelihood of traffic accidents increases when the driver is under the influence of alcohol. Accidental fire leads to more deaths. Firearms should be kept in a closed place, without ammunition, and out of the reach of children.
The fourth cause of death
Smoking damages the inner lining of the lungs, making it difficult for them to flush out harmful elements. Smoking also prevents oxygen from mixing with the bloodstream. When combined, these issues can lead to a condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There are many lung diseases that fall under the category of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and one of these diseases is emphysema or emphysema. People with emphysema may experience shortness of breath or gasping easily. They may be unable to do the simplest jobs without ever feeling completely exhausted. And the simplest jobs, such as going up and down stairs for example or wandering around the malls, become an almost impossible task. Some patients end up with the need for an oxygen supply to survive. Lung function tests help detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in its early stages. The best way to prevent this disabling disease is to refrain from smoking.
The third cause of death
Stroke occurs when blood stops flowing to the brain or its flow is greatly reduced. When a region of the brain is deprived of bloody perfusion, it dies. The result may be, depending on the size of the stroke or the area that has been lost and the location of this area, simple paralysis, or it may be death in severe cases. There are two general causes of stroke: the first is narrowing of the arteries, which allows less blood to pass through the second reason is blood clots that can float in the bloodstream, reach the arteries of the brain and block them. The origin of these blood clots may be blood vessels in the neck or heart. The blood vessels narrow when cholesterol and athero plaques accumulate on their walls. The more cholesterol and saturated animal fats we eat, the more likely our blood vessels will be constricted. Smoking, high blood pressure, and decreased activity make the arterial narrowing process worse, and this condition is called "atherosclerosis." Eating large amounts of salt, as well as a stressful lifestyle, can lead to a chronic rise in blood pressure that can in turn lead to atherosclerosis. Heart diseases can lead to weakening of the heart muscle and may disturb the heart rhythm. As a result, clots or thrombus may develop within the heart. These clots may migrate with the bloodstream, and travel to the brain, where they cause strokes. One can protect oneself from strokes by doing the following:
stop smoking.
Reducing the amount of fat and cholesterol that he consumes in his food.
Check blood pressure and keep it within normal limits.
Carrying out regular checks of the carotid arteries and heart.
Follow the doctor''s instructions and take the medications he prescribes.
The second cause of death
The causes of cancer are still unknown. However, it is known that there are certain factors that exist with cancer. Most people with lung cancer, for example, are smokers. Also, many people with colon cancer are those who do not eat enough fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Some cancers also occur more frequently in some families, and this is true for colon and breast cancer. The body consists of millions of cells. The cells grow in the normal state, multiply, and then die. Cancer begins when cells lose the ability to control their reproduction and growth. Cancer cells proliferate uncontrollably, depleting the body''s resources and often resulting in death if not treated. Cancer cells are called malignant because they can travel in the body and invade other organs. Cancer that originates in the lung, for example, can spread to the brain and liver. There are many ways to treat cancer, including surgery, the use of medicines, or radiotherapy. The sooner the cancer is discovered, the more successful the treatment. This is why the key to treating cancer is early detection. There are some cancer screening tests that can be done without the help of a doctor or nurse. Women should learn how to conduct a self-examination for screening for breast cancer, and men should learn how to conduct a self-examination for screening for testicular cancer. Other screening tests are conducted with the assistance of trained health workers. Women can perform a mammography to screen for breast cancer, or a Pap smear may be tested for cervical cancer. Men can see a doctor for a prostate cancer screening. This examination usually includes a blood test, known as a prostate specific antigen test, and an anus (anal anal touch). There are additional tests for screening for cancer in both men and women. Among these tests are an annual chest x-ray examination for early detection of lung cancer, and frequent tests to detect (invisible) blood in the stool, as this may be the first sign of colon cancer. It is the doctor who determines what is the appropriate examination for cancer screening for each individual person. The frequency of the examination depends on the patient''s age and gender, and on a number of other factors. One must be certain of his ability to perform self-examination. These exams do not need a long time to perform, and they can also be done at any time that suits them. Lifestyle changes can greatly help prevent cancer, as stopping smoking is extremely important to reduce the ris
