Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

When talking about heart diseases, there are numerous factors that may aggraviate or increase the risk for heart disease, such as lifestyle choices including diet, drug consumption, smoking, etc.

• High blood cholesterol levels - consuming food high in cholesterol leads to the congregation of extra cholesterol in the the arteries.

Solutions: reduce the consumption of food that is high in cholesterol, such as eggs, cheese, and meat (especially red meat).

• Low physical activity - increases the probabilities of having obesity and high cholesterol, which could lead to heart disease.

Solutions: practice exercise often, e.g. a walk in the park every evening, going to the gym, running, swimming, etc.

Solutions: avoid smoking at all costs.
