Our world is a scary place. When a boy or a girl is born, both parents wishes for the newborn to grow peacefully and reach old age. Clearly, we all are going to die at some time in the future, but we prefer to be in excellent health and die in our (very) old age. None us wishes to die prematurely from lung cancer, or a stroke, or be hit by a car. This is obvious.
Unfortunately, there are an infinite number of 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 – quite ironically, the biggest causes of death – are actually affected by our very own choices (smoking, obesity, alcohol drinking).
Perhaps surprisingly, the most common cause of death worldwide is smoking. This is definitely something that we can all avoid, and by doing so, dramatically improve our health and live longer. Not to mention that by doing so, we alsoincrease our budget and protect our children from the damage we cause to them.
In our site, Cause of Death, we recognize the top causes of death and elaborate, in detail, the 6 most common reasons people die before their time.
Furthermore, we offer useful guidelines that could help you to prevent these early deaths. Our goal is, literally, to get people to live longer. Hey, even if one person changes her lifestyle as a result of our website and lives longer, then our mission has been accomplished. It is as the Talmud says: “To save one life is as if you have saved the world”. We think so too.
