The next time you have a cardiac ultrasound, ask what you EF is. It should be between 50 and 70. This shows the strength the heart has to push blood through it.

Exercise and your lucky genetics when it comes to cholesterol levels increases your chances of good cardiac health.

Cutting back on the serving size of protein and increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables will make you healthier as will decreasing fat.

If you cannot get your cholesterol level below 200, it is time to consider the use of statins.
