Hi. Welcome To HealthcareMagic
Children and teens can lower their risk of getting heart disease by changing or controlling the risk factors that can lead to heart disease later in life.

Make sure you have normal Blood pressure and normal cholesterol profile.
Avoid smoking; maintain weight within normal limits, regular physical activity will help in long term to reduce the risk of heart diseases.
