You are not: Helping ward one off with those activities, but those things alone aren't enough. Risk factors for premature heart disease include genetic predisposition, diabetes, male sex, overweight, sedentary, smoking, seriously elevated cholesterol, and hypertension. See your doctor for a risk assessment and knock off the junk food, ....Use the money for a gym membership.

Depends: Not likely at your age, but keep it up and in about 5 years that will change. You know what you are doing isn't good for you. Fix it now.
