Yes: It takes years for heart disease to develop and by proper healthy diet, exercise, and a healthy life style you can make that number increase. Since genetic (family history cannot be"changed" we fortunately have a number of MEDICATIONS to deal with that factor (used to be heart attacks happened 10 years earlier with each generation..NO MORE!!!!!
