The best thing that you can do is eat right and exercise. If it runs in your family its just a part of you. Its in your dna. you inherit it from family. There is a small chance that you may not get it it just depends on so many thing. But just exercise(everyday is best at least 45 mins to one hour a dayis best)but at least a few times a week. Try and stay away from fast food and junk food. Take vitmans. Thats the best thing i can tell you.

You canĂ¢€™t prevent cancer and cervical cancer is not hereditary. The best thing you can do for this is to have annual pap smears. Diet and exercise has no affect on cervical cancer.

Camp Odayin is a great organization to donate to. Camp odayin is a camp for children with heart disease, it only costs us 25 dollars to go, and children from all over the U.S. even kids from Canada and Germany come. I can say, from first hand experience, that we appreciate donations, with out them we would not be able to to camp for only 25 dollars. We have tons of walks and fundraisers for camp odayin here in Minnesota(where it is located) we just had one yesterday actually. so if your considering donating to a organization for heart disease, then you should look into camp odayin.
