Heart disease, high cholesterol tend to run families because people adopt similar eating habits, which are usually extremely bad. Diet is the most powerful way to protect against heart disease, regardless of whether it runs in the family or not. Most of my family have high cholesterol and are on statins, why? because they eating too many calories and too many refined foods. My cholesterol is very low because of just diet alone, your diet is more far more important in protecting your heart than exercise (not saying you shouldn't exercise though!). Your diet is a powerful factor, even if you are genetically susceptible to heart disease.
