As a result, everybody is concerned with cholesterol, heart, high blood pressure etc. Heart disease’s rank as the No. 1 cause of death may be changing as soon as next year! According to the World Health Organization, cancer will be replacing heart disease as the No. 1 cause of death. What does this mean for you? For starters, we should not ignore our concerns about preventing heart disease, but we should pay at least as much attention to our cancer protection as we do for our cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
