According to the CDC, as of April 18, approximately 498,798 people have died from chronic disease this year.

April was once known for Fools and Taxes. This year it is also known as Cancer Control Month. There are many additional health concerns according to the 2009 National Health Information Center. http://www.healthfinder.gov/nho/nho.asp
We visited the Center for Disease Control's Website today and would like to share this information about Chronic Diseases.

Chronic diseases—such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes—are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Chronic diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the U.S., which is 1.7 million each year. These diseases also cause major limitations in daily living for almost 1 out of 10 Americans or about 25 million people. Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, they are also among the most preventable. Adopting healthy behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active, and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of these diseases.

Dr Ray Strand, a specialist in nutritional and preventive medicine recommends Nutritional Supplementation as an additional way help prevent and says,

"Every man, woman, and child needs to be supplementing a healthy diet and be involved in a modest exercise program. This is the key to protecting and maintaining your health."
