Cardiovascular prevention: Internet resources for a teaching unit

In order to find stimuli for getting young students interested in the subject of health,internet resources have been searched such as scientific contributions,atlases,images,diagrams and animations that help study cardiovascular prevention. the educational route is geared towards an increased awareness of the consequences of our behaviour on our health. the risk factors are determined to a great extent by behaviours learned in childhood and continued in adulthood,such as dietary habits,physical activity and smoking. the paper deals in particular with the primary prevention of heart attack and stroke. it can be noted,however,that compliance with its rules often produces benefits on other areas of health,for example bone growth and cancer prevention.
