5. list one way to decrease the risk of developing each of the following diseases:
• asthma
• type ii diabetes
• cancer
• osteoarthritis
• cardiovascular disease

One way you can get Asthma is for example either working in a heavy industrial place ( like a coal refinery) or living in a place that has very high pollution you would usually develop it at a young age. Type II diabetes you usually develop either from it already been in your family blood line. Or from eating very fatty foods from a young age. Or just being very overweight for a long amount of time. You can develop Cancer from working in heavily radiated workplaces without proper protection. You can even get it if you have something in your genes that just makes you more susceptible. And you can get Cardiovascular Disease from eating to much red meat or too much fat filled food. Or not being physically fit ( don't need to be overweight). Sorry can't help you with Osteoarthritis.

Hope this helps!

1.)dr. natterson- horowitz came to realize that their isn't much of a difference between animals and humans. just like humans, animals can suffer from illnesses and diseases like breast cancer, self injury, anxiety, and many more. she also discovered how they even treated and performed surgical procedures on animals just as if the animal it self were human. the los angeles zoo called dr. natterson- horowitz because they knew that she was a doctor and that  she would be able to recognize what was wrong with the gorilla. they knew that humans and gorillas were similar, so instead of calling another veterinarian, they called a doctor.
