If you have a family history of heart disease and cancer is there really anything you can do?



my grandma has a history of heart disease, her mom had a history as well. my grandma has a oversized heart.(dads side)
my dad has a irregular heart beat. his brother died of childhood luekemia.
my moms mom died of breast cancer. so is there really anything i can do?

there is. keep yourself healthy. try not to put stress on those things so much. if it is your time to leave this world, there's nothing we could do. make the most out of everything. try not to get too close to carcinogens, increase immunity by taking in vitamin C daily, eat veggies, fruits, not so much on the carbs and fats. exercise 3-4 times weekly. stick to anti-oxidants.=) if ever you are anemic, take in iron supplements or unless directed by your doctor. as much as possible, consult your doctor to check if you have any symptoms/signs of heart diseases or cancer. early detection will provide early cure. =) Source(s): i'm a student nurse.=)
Yes, be educated on what the risk factors are and avoid them. Early detection is key as well. Medicine has come a long way in diagnosis and treatment. Just keep informed of what is going on with you, with regular check ups and lifestyle choices. You'll be OK Funny_cat25
people who die of 'heart attacks' often die because the shock of their heart stopping causes their lungs to collapse.

if you have a strong history of heart complications - as you seem to - it is probably going to cost you a few years of your life. but if you do your best to ensure that your pulmonary system and yout circulation both stay in good condition (light but regular aerobic exercises, keeping your weight under control, and most of all never smoking) you stand a good chance of making it into an early old age rather than popping off in your forties or fifties.

up until the nineteenth century relatively few people survived into their seventies. even with your poor health inheritance you stand a very good chance of leading a life which is long enough and full enough if you take moderate care of yourself.

Just as everyone else above has said, just stay healthy. You may have to sacrifice eating unhealthy foods but it may mean a longer happier life for you. Read! You can find information about everything if you read. Find ways to prevent heart disease if you can. My family has a history of dibetes, so I know how it feels to think there's nothing you can do to avoid getting this horrible thing and die from it. When it's your time to go, it's your time to go. So, pray and live your life to the fullest.
I do not what medical expert will say about this matter. I now my grandfather (mother's side) had the same problem but lived to 104 years old but died from the cat rabies. What he did was always stay active and watch the food he is eating. He concentrated his diet on vegetables and fish and stayed active (not to the point of exhaustion) as if he did not now his health problem.
