It is a reality of our modern society that we do not eat as well as we could, do not exercise as much as we should, and do not help ourselves to reach our full biological capacity.  Heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol are all potential results of this modern lifestyle.

There also appears to be a hereditary component.  

The good news is there is a continually growing body of evidence that suggest supplementation can be of assistance in reversing or offsetting the conditions described above.  As always, if you are taking prescription medications, check with your doctor before taking any supplements.
