A member asked:
Can you prevent cardiovascular diseases by lifting weights 3x per wk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but good start: Staying active and choosing a healthy diet can go a long way toward preventing cardiovascular disease, but a strong family history of early atherosclerosis (less than 50 yo) is very difficult to overcome.
