Risk factors for heart problems are the same as for diabetes... Overweight, lack of exercise, and poor diet. (not to mention genetics). If you want to feel safe, eat a healthy low fat, calorie conscious diet, keep your weight down, and exercise regularly. A brisk walk for 20 to 30 minutes a day works wonders. And, above all, don't worry about it. Worry induced anxiety won't kill you, but it will make you think you're dying.
