Issue: Heart disease risk factors

Summary:

There are various risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which are behavior, habits, critical conditions, circumstances that can increase risk of developing this type of disease. There is some common reason behind this disease, which are lack of exercise, family history, unhealthy eating, age, diabetes, and smoking (ADA, 2019).  

Background:

• It is a huge disease that can affect the heart and circulatory system.

• It is a problem for persons, which are less effective for basic things, such as exercise, bad habits, and many others (World-heart-federation, 2017).   

• It can create a critical condition of the patients

• it is a huge problem and it can affect the future of people.

Recommended Action:

• there are various things to overcome the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as motivation for exercise, diet control, good habits, and many others. There are some risks, which can be controlled using medical and psychological practices, such as exercise, diet, smoking, and many others. However, some problems cannot reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, such family history, diabetes, and more (Remington, et al., 2015).      

• Most of the risks can cover using a different method, like exercise and other diet-related issues. I want to suggest reduce use of tobacco, which is a strong reason behind cardiovascular disease.
