Take this simple test to see if you might be at risk for a heart attack:
1). Have either of your parents, grandparents, or any one of your siblings or cousins had a heart attack?
2). Are you 60 or older?
3). Do you have diabetes?
4). Do you live alone?
5). Do you have more than 8 alcoholic drinks a week?
6). Do you have high blood pressure?
7). Do you smoke?
8). Do you skip breakfast?
9). Do you have high cholesterol
10). Do you exercise less than 3 times a week?
Are you more than 20% over your ideal weight? Yes No
If you answered "yes" to more than one question, then your risk for a heart attack is increased. Your risk, however, can be reduced through diet, by cessation of smoking, reduced alcohol intake, increased exercise and regular visits to your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
