Taking care of my heart


I eat a lot (I am a bit chubby) I do not have any cholesterol problems, but some man in my family had heart problems. Is there some thing else I should look for when I take blood tests or should I ask my doctor for some special heart attack?

i wouldn't ask for a heart attack ;-)

Often when you're young you results seem fine, and the problems are really latent, and don't show up till you're older. So basically even of you're fine in terms of cholesterol, you probably should consider exercising on a regular basis, making your heart stronger and healthier.

Probably you should also test for blood-fat, but really the best thing (as far as I know) is exercise.

Olive Oil's Newfound Benefits

Olive oil is a cornerstone of Mediterranean diets, which are renowned for being good for the heart. Many nutritionists have attributed that benefit to the oil's high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids. However, a European study suggests that olive oil's fatty acid makeup is only part of the story.

The study indicates that lightly processed olive oils—the virgin types common in Mediterranean diets—offer additional ingredients with a cardiovascular advantage: abundant antioxidants known as polyphenols.

When healthy men incorporated a virgin olive oil especially rich in these polyphenols into their diets, characteristics of their blood changed in many beneficial ways. Before eating polyphenol-rich oil, the men had consumed a diet low or devoid of the olive antioxidants.
