4. Coronary Heart Disease
Heart disease is one of the biggest killers of people in the world, and there are different types of heart disease. One of these, and among the most dangerous of all, is coronary heart disease. This is a condition where the coronary arteries, which supply our hearts with blood, become clogged.
Our heart’s muscles need to be fed a constant supply of oxygen just as the other parts of the body do. If this supply was to be limited for whatever reason, then the heart will struggle to work effectively. This is potentially disastrous and it can lead to a heart attack in some cases.
