You will be happy to hear that the odd glass of red wine or a drink in moderation is good for the heart. A good diet and moderate exercise is good for staving off heart problems, but again, there is not a 100% guarantee. Low salt, sugar, red meat in moderation, but lots of fish, chicken, vegetables, dairy products (butter is better than margarine, but should be used cautiously). If you read the the label on the side of margarine there are chemicals in it you can't even pronounce, so stick with butter in moderation. Olive oil is excellent. Keep fat off the chest and stomach and waist area. Exercise to strengthen muscle and raising your heart rate (fast walking or swimming are good exercises and cost nothing) is an excellent form of exercise. For stress release Yoga, Tai Chi is good. Stress is generally what causes disease and definetly heart problems. Going for a walk in a quiet country side or a park is good to lower stress levels as is (believe it or not) owning a pet such as a cat or dog (if you enjoy pets.) Laying down for an hour a day and listening to soft music and just relaxing is good for stress. Hobbies such as painting or any other hobby is a good source of relaxation. Don't smoke or drink too much.

It isn't that easy. Use of alcohol in excess of the recommended amounts increases your chances of liver damage, but each person is different and you can't measure the risk individually. We can say that prolonged alcohol abuse will damage the liver, but now how much or how quickly. The acetaminophen in the Lortabs increases the chance of liver damage, but again, the odds can't be stated with certainty.
