Just came across HGTV. They are running a couple of shows for their My Lottery Dream Home, looks like three more 1/2 hour segments are on....well for PST. Dont know how long these shows have been on.
Chronic diseases and conditionsâsuch as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and arthritisâare among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems.1  As of 2012, about half of all adultsâ117 million peopleâhad one or more chronic health conditions. Seven of the top 10 causes of death in 2010 were chronic diseases. 2  Two of these chronic diseasesâheart disease and cancerâtogether accounted for nearly 48% of all deaths. 3  Obesity is a serious health concern.
A chronic disease is persistent. It lasts for a long period of time and might recur. Like an acute disease, a chronic disease can be mild, severe or fatal. Examples of chronic diseases include cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes.Unlike an acute disease, a chronic disease is likely to develop over time instead of having a sudden onset.0 hilariously insightful foreign words. Many individuals confuse the difference between an acute disease and a chronic disease. An acute disease lasts for just a short time but can begin rapidly and have intense symptoms.
