<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My daughter has just been told she has systolic heart disease. She is 49 years old and over weight. She has been told this disease is reversible and I would like to know how, other than to loose weight which is obvious. Also, how long does it take. Thank you.  <response>: Hithere is no such entity as systolic heart disease, I think you want to say systolic hypertension by systolic heart disease see there is a categorization of systolic hypertension if it is grade 1 i.e. her BP is between 140 and 159 mm of Hg lifestyle modification can be very useful ask her to do strenuous exercise for at least 45 minutes a day for minimum 6 days a week try to avoid butter and saturated fats and fast food rather try natural vegans diet restrict the amount of salt to 2 to 3 grams a day keep body HY Chat Doctor.
