DQ 2:Barriers and challenges to heart health

Heart health is very important and fortunately due to the advancement of medical technology and surgical treatment methods many people with heart related conditions can receive successful treatment to continue living a productive life. One point to note from what you’ve shared is that often there is a link between multiple chronic conditions such that being diagnosed with one can increase a person’s risk for other illnesses/conditions. This is especially common with heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol. Do you believe that people in general somehow lose motivation to continue healthy lifestyles or were there other barriers and challenges that got in the way of good heart health?
