Heart and blood related diseases are reported to account for millions of deaths globally per year. These diseases are also said to be silent killers because they can be present for several years without any signs or symptoms and then suddenly it happens: Heart failure, heart attack, angina, stroke, or damage to other body organs.This book tries to raise awareness about some controllable risk factors that contribute to the on-set or escalation of these diseases.There are some recognizable symptoms that are warning signs and should make one consult a doctor for further tests and diagnosis. There is also the need to modify some of the controllable risk factors by cultivating a generally healthier lifestyle of exercising, eating a nutritious and well-balanced diet, and learning to cope with or reduce life's daily stress.It is never too late or too early to start protecting the heart and blood vessels. ...

Excerpt: Sickle-cell disease (SCD), or sickle-cell anaemia (or anemia; SCA) or drepanocytosis, is an autosomal recessive genetic blood disorder characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. Sickling decreases the cells' flexibility and results in a risk of various complications. The sickling occurs because of a mutation in the Hemoglobin gene. Life expectancy is shortened, with studies reporting an average life expectancy of 42 in males and 48 in females. Sickle-cell disease, usually presenting in childhood, occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of tropical and sub-tropical regions where malaria is or was common. One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene, because in areas where malaria is common, there is a survival value in carrying only a single sickle-cell gene (sickle cell trait). Those with only one of the two alleles of the sickle-cell disease are more resistant to malaria, since the infestation of the malaria plasmodium is halted by the sickling of the cells which it infests. The prevalence of the disease in the United States is approximately 1 in 5,000, mostly affecting Americans of Sub-Saharan African descent, according to the National Institutes of Health. In the United States, about 1 in 500 black births have sickle-cell anaemia. Sickle-cell anaemia is the name of a...http://booksllc.net/?id=21010263 ... Read more
