Answer:

Muscular Dystrophy

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy refers to the group of genetic diseases in which the muscles that control movement progressively weaken. The result of this is a difficulty that a person has in performing motor tasks, such as with Michael. In general, only voluntary movement muscles are affected, but some forms of this disease can also affect the heart and other involuntary movement organs.

There are nine major forms of muscular dystrophy: Myotonic, Duchenne, Becker, Waist-type muscular dystrophy (Erb), Fascio-humeral muscular dystrophy, Congenital, Pharyngeal oculus muscular dystrophy, Distal muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss.

Marianna [84]

3 factors that influenced the food choice to be unhealthy and lead to a heart attack. I would guess how easy it is to get such unhealthy foods for cheap prices whenever they want. Lack of exercise and lastly not going to the doctor. Avoiding visiting your physician especially when the patient doesn't take action themselves to be healthier is not good. After having a heart attack Richard should avoid certain foods such as Bacon, sausage, and other processed meats. Potato chips and other processed packaged snacks, Dessert, Too much protein, Fast food, Energy drinks, Added salt, and even Coconut oil.
