Is heart disease reversible with exercise?
People into late middle age can reverse or reduce the risk of heart failure caused by decades of sedentary living by exercising, a study has found. But there is a catch – it takes two years of aerobic exercise, four to five days a week, researchers said.

- Eat healthy.
