I took a quick skim through, but didn't see anything about genetics, and how that can be a cause of heart disease. Yes, there are some factors within our control, however some certainly are not.
Every day I fight the battle against genetics. Both sides of my family have long histories of heart disease.
I take medication. I eat pretty well (pork and chicken and tuna are my main sources of protein, which every swimmer needs). And I've been a competitive swimmer since 6 years old, so I know that helps.
I could never be a vegan/vegetarian. I love pig products too much.
