What are the best things to do to prevent heart disease?
What should your total diet be like to prevent heart disease?
Is it safe to work out on the Elliptical Machine if you want to prevent any heart problems?

@9999- I believe genetics have a lot to do with this subject, but there are lots of things we can do to fight back on those nasty genes. I would say these would be my top ones. Stop smoking, minimize our alcohol intake (I drink a glass of wine about 3-4 times a week), Exercise. Even if these means walking every day, find a way to get out and get moving. Exercise for me means 3x a week spending about 45-55 min. doing cardio (Eliptical is great, but you may have to work up to that machine) and about 30 min. strength training at a local Fitness over Fifty facility. Meals! everything I read points more to a Paleo or Mediterranean type of meals. I'm eating much more fish, legumes and only grass fed beef. My GP Dr. says that grass fed beef has as many type 3 fatty acids as salmon. Keep the portion size down. I use a smaller salad plate in lieu of a full size dinner plate and if I want 2nds, I make myself wait at least 5 minutes before going back. This works about 50% of the time. Work at shedding a few pounds or more if we need to (We all need to loose some) so we can get our BMI where it should be for the body we have. I'm a big believer in supplements and take a good multi, plus CoQ10, Tumeric, Fish & Kril oil (only wild sourced and as high as I can find in DHA &EPA.) Sleep, I shoot for 7-8 hrs. a day and generally meet that goal. If you can begin to start these kind of habits I believe you will feel great and you will definitely be pushing back on any of those nasty genes! Good luck & happy elipticaling!
