Answer:

You have a lot of control over it. You can choose to be active, you choose what types of foods you eat. You can also control if you smoke, or drink. You basically have around 80%-90% of control. If you do the right things I think It will lessen your chances of having the disease.

There are five important heart disease risk factors that you can control. A poor diet, high blood pressure and cholesterol, stress, smoking and obesity are factors shaped by your lifestyle and can be improved through behavior modifications. Risk factors that cannot be controlled include family history, age and gender.
