You may have experienced a broken heart once or twice in your lifetime from a relationship break-up. This type of broken heart is in most cases repairable. But there is another type of broken heart that is not so easily fixed – a diseased heart from poor lifestyle habits.
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death among men in Australia and New Zealand. For a 40 year old man, the risk of developing heart disease at some time in the future is one in two. The good news is that a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and exercise, has a positive effect on your heart and can help to prevent an early death from failure of this vital organ.
