In recent years, the leading causes of death worldwide have shifted from infectious diseases to chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke. According to the World Health Organization, these three conditions are the leading causes of death globally, accounting for over 50% of all deaths.

The average age of death for these leading causes of death varies depending on the specific condition and other factors such as individual lifestyle and genetics. However, in general, heart disease and stroke tend to occur earlier in life, with the average age of death being in the late 60s or early 70s. On the other hand, cancer typically occurs later in life, with the average age of death being in the mid-70s.

It is clear that taking excellent care of both our physical and mental health is crucial for improving our longevity and overall quality of life. One key aspect of maintaining good health is maintaining a healthy diet. A balanced diet rich in fruits, and vegetables, can help support overall health and prevent chronic conditions.

In addition to a healthy diet, regular exercise and the use of supplements can also play a role in improving longevity and quality of life. Regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and support mental health. Meanwhile, supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and herbs can help fill in any nutritional gaps and support overall health.

Furthermore, taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Poor mental health can lead to a range of physical and emotional issues, including an increased risk of chronic conditions. By seeking help and support when needed and practicing self-care, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being.

In conclusion, the leading causes of death globally are chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke. The average age of death for these conditions varies, but in general, they tend to occur later in life. By taking excellent care of both our physical and mental health, including maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and using supplements, we can improve our longevity and overall quality of life.
