How likely is it that I would have an heart attack at 18 but have no heart problems?

Question

Because I just worry all the time about myself and something being wrong with me, and to be honest I'm not exactly living the healthy lifestyle but I want to start, I'm cutting out Mountain Dew and a bunch of other unhealthy stuff,does anyone happen to have any tips on how to lose weight and begin a better lifestyle?

Answer

It's very unlikely if you don't have specific risk factors. Start with small things like walks or some swimming. Cut down soda and eventually taper it out. Don't get cans, get a big bottle and keep it in the fridge and use small glasses. You won't want to get up just for a couple sips of dew. Try some caffiene alternatives so you don't just go cold turkey.

Answer

Not likely but you may have one at 30-40 which is getting more and more common as people eat such junk and don't exercise.

I'm a public health professional and the choices you make now will affect the rest of your life. Keep yourself at healthy weight, cut out sugar and processed foods, and exercise.

Sounds like you are on your way to making changes. That's really good.

Answer
