  • First, the CIA’s placed the United States 84th in death rates as compared to other countries as stated in The World Factbook. This means here in the USA we have a shorter life span than 83 other countries. You would think since we live in such an advanced country the statistics would reflect more positively.
  • Second, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention statistics show heart disease is the number one killer of people in the USA. For most, heart disease is preventable.
