The world is a frightening place. When a child is born, both parents wishes for their offspring to live and reach old age. Obviously, we all are going to die eventually, but we prefer to be in the best health and die in our old age. None us wishes to die before our time from breast cancer, or a heart attack, or be hit by an automobile. This is obvious.
Unfortunately, there are too many reasons why people die before their time. Many of those reasons are natural in origin (diseases, viruses, bacteria), but many are man-made (pollutants, car accidents), and most – ironically, the biggest causes of death – are actually a result of our very own choices (smoking, obesity, alcohol drinking).
Perhaps surprisingly, the most common cause of death worldwide is smoking. This is literally a thing that we can all avoid, and by doing so, significantly change our health and live longer. Not to mention that by doing so, we alsoraise our budget and protect our kids from the damage we cause to them.
In our site, Cause of Death, we recognize the top causes of death and elaborate, quite thoroughly, the six most common reasons people die before their time.
Furthermore, we offer practical advice that could help people to avoid these early deaths. Our goal is, literally, to get our readers to live longer. Hey, even if a single person changes her lifestyle as a result of our guidelines and lives longer, then our mission has been achieved. It is as the Talmud says: “To save one life is as if you have saved the world”. We completely agree.
