Keep your diet healthy. Stay away from animal fat (meat, dairy products). If you have to have them, make it for a special occasion. Eat lots of vegetables. Try taking CoQ10 daily.

Keep exercising and getting the heat muscle working hard to push all the blood through it. This will help with stress.

In short, a good diet, exercise and a more laid back attitude towards life will help your heart stay strong.

Answer 2

John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia walks every day. Unfortunately for the Labour party that means that he is as healthy as an ox.

Find a nice beach somewhere and stroll away at sunset with someone you love. Take up fishing. Golf phew. No wonder you had a blocked artery.... stressful game.

Answer 4

Diet and excercise should work. However, the doctors should probably have tried a STENT rather than a STUNT 2 years ago.
