True. Lifestyle choices directly affect the development of heart disease. When a person makes positive and conscious choices about his/her eating habits, regular exercise, and overall general health he/she will prevent heart diseases from occurring. Proper diet paired with a good exercise routine are some of the basic recommended ways that the World Health Organization suggests to individuals. This especially applies to individuals who are leaning on the older side of the spectrum. The older a person gets the more effort he/she must put in improving a good quality of life. This is the time when everything slows down (e.g. metabolism) and the body heals and recovers at a slow rate.
