Family history of high bp, etc. is it possible to reduce my risk, and is it possible if i had it, to reverse heart disease? how so?

BP: Yes, you can certainly reduce your risk by having a healthy lifestyle. Exercise regularly, watch what you eat, absolutely don't smoke , get regular check ups including your cholesterol . Genetic predisposition may be non modifiable , but all these other factors are.
