which diseases can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices? check all that apply. sickle cell disease huntingtons disease cardiovascular disease osteoporosis type 2 diabetes celiac disease

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Cardiovascular disease: A healthy lifestyle (e.g., regular exercise, balanced diet, no smoking) can reduce the risk of heart - related problems. For example, exercise helps improve blood circulation and lowers blood pressure.
  • Osteoporosis: Weight - bearing exercises (a part of a healthy lifestyle) and a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D (e.g., dairy products, leafy greens) can help prevent bone loss.
  • Type 2 diabetes: Maintaining a healthy weight through diet (controlling sugar and carbohydrate intake) and exercise can prevent or manage this disease. Physical activity helps the body use insulin more effectively.

Sickle cell disease and Huntington's disease are genetic disorders. While some symptoms of sickle cell disease (like pain crises) may be somewhat managed with hydration and rest (basic healthy lifestyle elements), the disease itself is due to a genetic mutation. Huntington's disease is also a genetic disorder with no known prevention through lifestyle (it is caused by a faulty gene). Celiac disease requires a gluten - free diet (a specific dietary change, but it is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, not really "prevented" in the same sense as the others; once diagnosed, the diet is a treatment but not a prevention through a general "healthy lifestyle" in the broad sense).
