Many Americans are at an increased risk for heart disease especially if they are overweight and do not exercise. If you have a family history of diabetes and are at least 10 pounds overweight, you are a risk to develop high cholesterol and/or triglycerides, high blood pressure and diabetes. These three conditions make up metabolic syndrome which leads to heart disease.
