Cost of preventable diseases over next ten years

almost 390 million people now living will die from preventable diseases such as heart disease, stroke or diabetes etc over the next ten years.

The cost in lost productivity in that period of time in China, India and the UK alone is almost $850 billion.

Unhealthly eating,lack of exercise, smoking and drinking are implicated in this hidden health crisis.
