A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated issue: There are too many variables to provide a single answer. You may consult this site for a description of heart disease due to stress. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1847940/ For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
