You know it is funny,when the dr's ask me what kind of deaseses run in our family it is hard for me to answer that question.
My grandfather died of a heart attack when he was in he's early 40's. He had an illness when he was a child that effected he's heart and made it weak. It was in the Army and probably should not have been (high stress)
My grandmother died of a heart attack when she was 68 ( I miss her so much) but she was from a time when fat and cholestrol was not looked at or tested for. everyone else had alcohol related deaths. Hard to say what my problems might be. I have two great Aunts and my great grandfather who lived (are still living) into their mid 90's. All on my grandma's side. So I figure I just have to try and live a somewhat healthy life. Moderation is really a good key and activity is a must!
