Four Unhealthy Behaviors Combine to Increase Death Risk


This weeks article is about how a new study has confirmed that when you combine smoking, lack of physical activity, alcohol, and a bad diet you have a big chance to die. The study shows that this combination can cause cardiovascular disease, cancer, and as we said a rate for dieing early. This means that if you smoke, eat no vegetables or fruits, have less than 2 physical hours a week and 14 units of 8 grams of alcohol for women and 21 units for men, you may this consequences. The chances for you to get one of this diseases increase with each poor behavior. For example when people which poor behavior were tested with people with good behaviors they had a bigger chance to die by dieing 12 years sooner.

Our opinion is that we think that it is a really alarming news but it is totally true. We just learned that we had bigger chance for diseases and death if we have this four behaviors. It affects us because we are in the age that some of us will start doing this behaviors and by teaching and promoting this information we might be avle to save their lives. Also we can save our lives by not doing this now that we know. We appreciate the fact that we know now this information.
