WOW. I just turned 60 and boy did my physical show red flags. For the first time in my life my cholesterol was high. I went from mid normal to off the chart danger levels. Other cardiac indicators were found. My family has a horrible history when it comes to cardiac health. Husband also learned that he is officially diabetic.
Naturally we cannot change genetics, but we have some control in what we eat to mitigate the genetic predisposition.

So we are starting our journey to a healthier diet. Wish us luck.
