Week 8: Who does your industry affect?

A Cardiologist is a physician that treats people with heart problems or could possibly have heart problems. But seeing the way the health of America is turning it seems as though my industry will somehow affect everyone. More specifically people with high cholesterol, people that do not exercise, and people that eat an unhealthy diet. As long as junk food is as cheap as it is, my industry will always be relevant for those who are threatened to be afflicted with heart disease or heart attacks. To this day, heart disease is the number one cause of death in America and it doesn’t seem like it is planning to slow down anytime soon. It really saddens me to know that the industry of Cardiology affects almost everyone because normally you do not visit a Cardiologist unless there is cause for concern. I believe people need to be more aware of what is in their food before they eat it. Raising awareness will give people a better understanding of the different choices they can make in order to eat healthier. With better health choices, more awareness, and more exercise, I hope that I will not have to be so busy in the future.
