Did you know that you have the ability to affect your heart, lungs and blood vessels based on the things you do every day?

Yes it is. Mostly. Staying healthy and fit now will help reduce your chances of getting cardiovascular disease when you're older . . . but you can also do things that aren't so good for you. Your cardiovascular system is like the engine that makes your body run. You have to take care of it, or problems could eventually develop.
