these are risk factors of heart disease you can avoid or control.
- High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the bad stuff), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (the good stuff).

- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Lack of regular exercise
- A high fat diet
- Being overweight or obese
- Diabetes
- Ongoing stress or depression
