Moreover slowly the basic organs also start to function slowly following which the individual becomes a victim to a host of diseases. One chronic and very common disease that occurs in older life is Heart Disease. There are various diseases that are related to heart that can occur as we age and they are primarily because the heart vessels reduce their capability to pump blood to the heart. This is the primary cause of a large number of deaths in US apart from several other countries as well. In this medical condition, fatty acid start to form the lining of blood vessels thereby blocking the circulation of blood to the heart and arteries become more rigid.
