5.Diabetes: $245 Billion
Nearly one-quarter of people with diabetes don’t know they have it. Diabetes can lead to heart and kidney disease, eye problems, nerve damage, and many other issues. To lower your chance of getting diabetes, eat a well-balanced diet, exercise 30 minutes at least five days a week, and keep your weight under control. If you already have diabetes, eat right and exercise, monitor your blood sugar, and take your medicine.
6.High Blood Pressure: $46 Billion
Having high blood pressure raises your risk of heart disease and stroke. Because there are no symptoms, get your blood pressure checked regularly. Exercise often, eat less salt, and don’t smoke. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and limit alcohol. Manage your stress — try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
