What are some structure problems and function problems related to the human heart?

My class has to make a 'brochure' as if another teen were to read it, and we have to explain the human heart and why it is necessary for us to be healthy to avoid heart attacks and strokes. In the brochure we have to name a few structure problems and then a few function problems.

What are possible structure problems that may arise if teens don't stay healthy?

What are possible function problems that may arise if teens don't stay healthy?

Thanks soo much! :)

    the problem for teens is in summer in summer what happens is all the teen agers go out to eat some cool in some areas this thig isnot prepared hygienically but that is not a big problem actually according to the morden science teen age's blood is thick and in summers when there is extrem hot the blood becomes more thick to keep the body cool so if the teenager's and old people don't good precautions then there are chances in which a person may DIE.

    that is a great question

    To avoid heart problems when you become an adult it is very important to eat and drink healthy. As an adult continue doing this along with exercise and cardiovascular exercise. As a teen take vitamins and as an adult take vitamins along with krill oil.

    Note: take vitamins free of caffeine, sugar and artificial color. Krill oil which comes from Antarctica krill is rapidly becoming doctor's choice instead of regular fish oil. Krill is more easily absorbed by the body than regular fish oil and benefits more as well. Krill will help to keep your arteries clear of triglycerides. This substance in time will clog arteries and prevent proper blood flow into the heart and out of it which can cause a heart attack or/and a stroke. Krill is good for brain health also.
