Hi Fintan,
3 of my grandparents died young (49, 54, and 65) and for two of them, my mother's parents who died at the young ages, smoking was an issue, and I think all of them ate a lot of high cholesterol foods, that was decades ago. My brother also had 2 heart attacks before age 40 because of smoking and being overweight, he has since lost weight and is still alive & healthier now at 55. One of my uncles also died at 49 and a cousin died at 50 from heart issues.
Smoking is a major health hazard. Eating in moderation and watching out for cholesterol, fried foods, sodium & fat are also extremely important in maintaining longterm health.
