I had a heart attack in sept 08 and you really do need to eat healthily and exercise and lose weight and cut down on alcohol and stop smoking

Not much to do is it lol. It is very daunting but they are right you do need to exercise more

The exercise will actually decrease your risk of having a heart attack :) you're more likely to have a heart attack if you sit on the couch for the next 20 years compared to if you go for a small jog or brisk walk every day for the next 20 years. It seems like the exercise will put pressure on your heart and cause a heart attack, but it actually strengthens your heart muscles and makes your heart much stronger :)
