Answer    :-	Heart diseases are primary caused by inflammation of arteries , which blocks blood from reaching the heart.

Answer    :-	There are two types of cholestrol - HDL(good fat) & LDL (bad fat). When LDL become oxidized they become stickier, and they end up gumming up the arteries.

Answer    :-	Eat a healthy diet , so that proper ratio of good fat(HDL) and bad fat(LDL) is maintained. Typically ratio of total fat is to good fat should be 5:1. Do exercise (brisk walking, jogging, etc.) every alternate day. Eat fruits and vegetables which are rich in Antioxidant.Eat protien rich diet. These will prevent oxidation of LDL.
