Recalling the Facts:
1. Hypertension is called the “silent killer” because it has no symptoms in its early stages.
2. Plaque can build up in the artery walls, which can cause the arteries to thicken and lose their elasticity.
3. Many heart attacks come with no symptoms, but if they do, one may experience mild pain or discomfort in the chest.
4. A high-fat diet can increase the risk of cancer because fats make the colon more susceptible to carcinogens. Colon cells also divide more rapidly if the diet is high in fat, which will increase the chance that abnormal cells will form.
5. People with long-lasting or severe allergies should seek medical attention because allergies can cause more problems in ones body, such as asthma, so it is important for those people to see doctors often to make sure everything is function properly, etc.
6. By getting regular physical activity and watching your diet, you can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
7. An autoimmune disease harms the body when the immune system mistakenly attacks itself and targets the cells, tissues, and organs of a person’s own body.
8. Because of the Americans with Disabilities Act, employers with 15 or more employees must provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to work, as well as telephone companies must establish telecommunications relay services that enable callers with hearing and speech disabilities to communicates through a third-part communications assistant.
