Chronic Diseases

Chronic Diseases – Diseases which continue a long time or reoccur frequently.

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes—are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. These diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the U.S., which is 1.7 million each year. These diseases also cause major limitations in daily living for almost 1 out of 10 Americans or about 25 million people. Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, they are also among the most preventable. Adopting healthy behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of these diseases.

Heart disease and stroke are the world’s greatest killers, claiming 17.5 million lives a year which represents nearly one third of all deaths in the world.

Whether you want to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, it’s important to understand the connection between the energy your body takes in (through the foods you eat and the beverages you drink) and the energy your body uses (through the activities you do).

Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases.

Aloe Vera in combination benefits patients with heart disease.

Five thousand patients with angina pectoris were studied over a five year period of time. Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. During the five-year period, the patients’ diets were supplemented with aloe vera and psyllium husks. What was then observed were numerous indicators showing an improvement in cholesterol balance, such as a reduction in total serum cholesterol. At the same time, the clinical profile of these patients showed reduction in the frequency of anginal attacks and a gradual reduction in the use of drugs. The patients most benefited were diabetics (without adding any diabetic drug). According to the study’s author, the exact reason behind why the above two substances work is unknown, but may be due to their fiber contents. Both substances need further evaluation. For more information, go to the Journal Angiology, Volume 36, Issue 8.
