Preventing Emergencies

Being responsible means that you take reasonable precautions to prevent emergencies from occurring. Injuries remain the leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults. Thousands of people die each year in a certain country due to injuries. No one knows for sure how many of these victims die needlessly from preventable incidents. Emergencies also occur as a result of unhealthy lifestyles. For example, your exercise and dietary habits influence the health of your heart. Unhealthy habits such as over eating, smoking and lack of exercise, can increase your chances of heart attack.
