She said someone can eat well and do everything right but sometimes genes can rule.Comite said if you're diabetic, the risk of heart attack is equivalent to someone who's already had a heart attack. She says over 90% of us have a disorder of glucose metabolism, so we really need to pay attention to our sleep, food and exercise for our heart health.
"It's best to be aware of all your habits, starting with eating enough protein, getting enough sleep," Comite said. "The food you eat is an important factor, and so is exercise. I would put it in that order: sleep, food and exercise. Practice meditation if that is something you love to do because that can help your genes in a way that's positive."
