We have all seen an increase in deaths caused due to critical illnesses such as various heart conditions, cancers, kidney problems, etc. This may be due to our changing lifestyle, where we have to operate in higher levels of stress, the food we eat which may be contaminated by various harmful chemicals, the impure water we drink, or the polluted air that fills our lungs.
