Markus Giebel talks about Cancer risks

Some facts about cancer:

There are more than 100 different types of cancer

All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. When cells become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with new cells. However, sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed, producing mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not die when they should, and new cells form when the body does not need them. The extra cells may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.

Markus Giebel speaks about Heart Attacks

Heart Attack Risk

In the US, more than 1.5 million people per year will suffer from heart attack and stroke.

Heart Diseases

Heart disease and stroke can be fatal, but they can also result in serious illness, disability, and decreased quality of life. Suffering a stroke may lead to significant disability, such as paralysis, speech difficulties, and emotional problems. Following a heart attack, individuals frequently suffer fatigue and depression, and they may find it more difficult to engage in physical activities. Heart disease and stroke are among the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.

Attached are five points which just may help to keep your resolutions:
