the heart and blood vessel. These include
heart diseases and vascular diseases.

Asthma – is a chronic lung disorder that
causes airways (the tubes that carry air
into and out of the lungs) to become
inflamed, which means that they swell
and produce lots of thick mucus.
Signs and Symptoms of Asthma:
• Shortness of Breath
• Wheezing
• Coughing
• Chest Tightness

5. Cancer – is caused by
abnormal cells growing
without control. As these
abnormal cells grow, they
form in masses called tumors.
