Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I quit drinking alcohol in 2020 but it's unrelated to the heart disease. I also do body weight exercises. I should definitely improve my sleep.
Is there evidence to restrict cardio to zone 2? I was considering adding speed work to work on other goals.

Being recently RIF'ed due to the current administration's policies, I am learning the importance of a diverse social network.

Thank you for your comment. Since lipoprotein(a) [lp(a)] isn't affected by diet or exercise, I’m focusing on lowering other risk factors by reducing saturated fat, eating fiber-rich whole foods, limiting sodium, and continuing with zone 2 cardio to my routine. Do you have any other tips?
