A member asked:
Why do thousands of women die every day from diseases that are often preventable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No good reason.: Don't smoke. Don't use drugs. Have a good diet. Don't be overweight or obese. Check your blood pressure. Know your cholesterol, both total and good (hdl). Exercise more. Take vitamin d3. Avoid excess uv light. Simple to say, but hard to implement. Most people know these things, but ignore them.
