Hopefully this thread is in the right section since it deals with training, and making the body healthier. Over this weekend I saw that one of my friends friend passed away from playing basketball. The reason was due to his heart giving out, which then made me think, are there ways to make my heart healthier so that it's more prepared for vigorous activities? I did some google research and it stated that aerobics helped, but I want so more light shed on this. Along with things for a healthier brain function, since things like dementia at an old age honestly worry me. I'm 17, 5'7, and weigh 120 pounds. I'm right now trying to eat as much as I can to bulk up a bit, but want to do it in a way where I'm helping my heart and brain, not hurting it. Any help is appreciated.
 
Watch what you eat

Do Cardio

Workout

Do puzzles/word searches/etc (also read) to keep your brain sharp

Take multi-vitamins if necessary.
 
To add to what JJ07 posted, get checked, as males ego gets in the way and we want to push throw aches and pains.

A lot of fit athletes have enlarged hearts.
