Of course, genetics plays an even greater role.
But it is simple if you didn't inherit too many unhealthy genes...
Diet, Exercise and a calm spirit.
Simple? Yes, EASY? Oh hecks NO.
Outside of genetic predisposition, 90% (estimated) of health problems due to bad habits.
Heart attacks can be brought on by stress, it is a Hollywood cliche to have some guy clutch his heart and drop dead during a rant, an overheated yelling match.
Calm people have to call 911 (in the movies).
But even then, you can only do what you can do...Jim Fixx dropped dead and he was considered to be the picture of health, a renown runner who wrote best selling books on health.
But science proves that for most of us, a healthy lifestyle of a low body mass index, routine exercise and time to let the body heal or recover are some sure ways to get to the best health you can.
But damn food, is just so yummy. And TV more fun than exercise. And yelling and being all angry well, that's just some people's way.

Health is a big issue for many entrepreneurs...
For example, we were recently talking about Joe Karbo. What wasn't mentioned was that Joe died of a heart attack (https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1243&dat=19801113&id=pNZYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yPYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4256,2840387&hl=en) at the relatively young age of 55, when he was being interviewed by a TV news program (in a hostile way, I believe)...
I've had to look after myself much better in recent years, after being diagnosed with diabetes. (I managed to lose around 50 lbs! Though unfortunately, over the last year or so I've gained about 10 lbs of it back...)
So, I thought I'd ask... What do you do to look after your health?
Best wishes,
