         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><p><strong>Heart disease:</strong> Heart disease is a general term that includes many types of heart problems. It's also called cardiovascular disease, which means heart and blood vessel disease.</p><p>Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.</p></li><li><p><strong>Stroke:</strong> An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or reduced. This prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. Another type is a hemorrhagic stroke. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding in the brain. The blood increases pressure on brain cells and damages them.</p></li><li><p><strong>Lung cancer:</strong> Lung cancer happens when cells in the lung change mutate. Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Smoking causes most cases (around 90%) of lung cancer. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells grow uncontrollably and cluster together to form a tumor, destroying healthy lung tissue around them. </p></li><li><p><strong>Colorectal cancer</strong>: Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps<strong>. </strong>Left undetected and/or untreated, the cancer works its way through a layer of tissue, muscle and the outer layer of your colon</p></li><li><p><strong>Depression</strong>: Major depression (a more advanced form of depression) is considered a serious medical condition that may dramatically affect your quality of life. It may lead to chronic pain and complicate treatment. Symptoms associated with depression include joint pain, limb pain, back pain, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, psychomotor activity changes, and appetite changes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Type 2 diabetes</strong>: Type 2 diabetes happens when your body can’t use insulin properly. Without treatment, Type 2 diabetes can cause various health problems, like heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. </p></li></ul>]]></description>
