I have a heart. How to prolong the life of the heart and blood vessels

What do patients hide from the doctor during appointments? What tests does the doctor prescribe and why? What is dangerous about hypertension? What do blood vessels and garden hoses have in common? Why are athletes not the healthiest people? What nutrition is needed for a healthy heart?
This and much more is discussed by practicing therapist Iolanta Lyalite. "I wanted to make a cheat sheet for patients who ignore treatment and recommendations. It turns out there are very, very many of them.
