It is also the deadliest among women in France.
It is the deadliest disease in the world and yet its symptoms often go unnoticed. Especially at the beginning. Fatigue, jaw pain, shortness of breath… Every year, nearly 18 million people around the world die from it, or 32% of global deaths. In France, 150,000 people die from it every year and it is the leading cause of death for women.
However, as theWHOthis disease “can be avoided“. An opinion shared by the American nutritionist Luke Hanna : “Its main risk factors are diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and excess abdominal fat which are all affected by dietary changes.” Also the key to avoiding the deadliest disease in the world according to this specialist is “to make some simple changes to your diet.”
For example, he advises reducing your consumption of saturated fats, especially present in foods of animal origin such as meat, cold meats and dairy products, and favoring lean proteins such as those from poultry and fatty fish, at least 2 to 3 times a week. These dietary changes are good for the heart and this is precisely where the deadliest disease in the world begins since it is cardiovascular disease.
This disease is defined as that affecting the heart and blood vessels. It includes ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart defects, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In France, 85% of deaths due to cardiovascular disease occur following a myocardial infarction. Nearly 50,000 people suffer sudden cardiac arrest each year and only 5% survive, recalls the Ministry of Health.
Changing your diet is an effective way to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, but the WHO also recommends taking action.on behavioral and environmental risk factors such as smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol”.
