LOWER RISK OF POSSIBLE FUTURE HEALTH PROBLEMS
Many things change in our lives as we age, the children move out, we start getting ready for retirement and we hopefully have the time to do more of what we want. We want to be as healthy as we can so we can enjoy these future events.
Cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) and lung disease are the leading causes of preventable death and disability in Canada. As you age, the risks of these health problems increase and can prevent us from enjoying out lives. Reducing the risk of these four chronic diseases (long-term or ongoing illnesses) is within your control.
