I just read a great article in National Geographic (from a few months ago). It has a huge article about heart disease. You can probably find it on their website. Heart disease is 50% heredity and 50% diet. Start good eating and exercise while you're young so you don't have to worry about hardened arteries when you are older. Take fish oil pills too. Yes, teens should care. You can reduce the risk by starting good habits young, eating right, and exercising. This will at least eliminate the 50% diet relation. The other 50% is out of your control, unless you are lucky and have really good genes.

Heart disease is the #1 Killer in the USA - so I am glad that your homework is on an important subject. Check out the website http://www.cadiresearch.com/Heart_%20Attack.html for animation of a heart attack. Basically, people suffering from heart disease have plaque (cholesterol) build-up around their coronary arteries (arteries that supply blood to their heart muscle). Some of this plaque can rupture and block the artery causing a heart attack. A heart attack could lead to death or disability. There are a number of factors that can cause heart disease cholesterol level, family history of heart disease - check out www.americanheart.org for detailed information. The three keys for a heart healthy life - Healthy eating - fruits, vegetables, lean meat - heart healthy fats such as omega-3; regular physical activity and appropriate medication for cholesterol control. As a teenager - especially if you have a family history of heart disease, you need to get medically screened and take precautionary measures. Also, a heart healthy life style makes you feel great and gives you plenty of energy. I hope this was helpful. Good luck with your assignment
