9. Prevention
We can’t make ourselves completely safe from the condition, but we can take steps to significantly reduce our odds of developing it. There is not usually much that can be done about hereditary conditions and certain medical problems. There is, however, a lot that can be done to prevent the condition from being caused by lifestyle choices.
