While walking is a great form of exercise, it can also be dangerous. An estimated 7,500 pedestrians were killed by drivers in 2022, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. That is the highest number since 1981. Practicing safe walking habits is essential to lower your chance of incidents.

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that heart disease causes 1 in every 5 deaths. Heart disease refers to several different types of heart conditions.

According to the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute, each year, cardiac arrest causes 300,000 to 450,000 deaths in the United States. It is more common in older men than women. This condition is fatal if it’s not treated immediately. This means it’s essential to know the signs of cardiac arrest and how to respond to someone experiencing it.
