DQ Leading cause of death in the United States
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States (Heron, 2019). The CDC estimates that 34% of these deaths could be prevented or delayed by a change in health habits (CDC, 2014). The three lifestyle behaviors that have the most influence on heart disease are physical activity, diet, and tobacco use.
Do you think that patients with heart disease have adequate access to necessary healthcare resources to maintain a healthy weight and/or stop smoking? Why or why not?
Are lifestyle/behavior changes more important than other types of heart disease treatments?
Do patients with heart disease have enough guidance when they are told to eat healthier foods and/or exercise more often? If not, how can we better educate/assist these patients to change their health habits?
How can we encourage teenagers and adults to prevent heart disease and maintain healthy habits throughout their lifetime?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
