"According to a new study, just 3% of Americans have optimal heart health. Even if you think you’re doing everything right, check out the list of nine heart-healthy items and see where you rank."
Nine criteria:
– No high blood pressure
– No high cholesterol
– No diabetes
– Not overweight
– Not underweight
– Not obese
– Don’t smoke
– Do at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week
– Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day
How many on the list do you meet? Just curious.

Well it depends what you mean by overweight. By BMI standards I'm overweight (which don't mean jack**** btw) but my BF% is in the healthy range. So either 8/9 or 9/9 depending how you look at it.
ETA: I meet 0/9 I'm not american0 -
Great post. I am 7 out of 9 and should 9/9 in 90 days.0
