The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that chronic diseases like arthritis, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are the main causes of disability and death in the United States.

Also, even if you already suffer from arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer or any other chronic disease, eating plenty of nutritious foods and getting regular exercise, whether it is walking, jogging, or swimming, can help you manage your illness effectively, prevent complications as well as prolong your life.
