Your Amazing Heart
|
|
| Your Amazing Heart Imagine a machine that pumps thousands of gallons of fluid each day. What kind of maintenance would be required to maintain this type of a machine so that it continues to flow without any interruptions, restrictions or break downs? Believe it or not, each of you has such a machine inside your body doing exactly that. The heart is a muscular organ that acts like a pump to continuously send blood throughout your body. The heart is at the center of your circulatory system, pumping oxygenated blood and nutrients to help maintain your organs. A healthy heart supplies the areas of your body with the right amount of blood at the rate needed to work normally. The average, healthy adult body contains betweens 5.2 and 6 liters of blood. According to the U.S. Department of Health, the average heart pumps about .073 liters of blood per heart beat or about 2,000 US gallons during a 24 hour period. Your heart is vital to your health and nearly everything that goes on in your body. Without the heart’s pumping action, blood can’t circulate within your body. If disease or injury weakens your heart, your body’s organs won’t receive enough blood to work normally. Hear are a just a few ways to keep your amazing heart healthy: NUTRITION Better food habits can help you reduce any risk factors you may have for heart disease. Eating a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain products, organic meats and drinking more water lead to a more health lifestyle. Food Tips: Vegetables and fruits are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber — and they’re low in calories. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables may help you control your weight and your blood pressure. Unrefined whole-grain foods contain fiber that can help lower your blood cholesterol and help you feel full, which may help you manage your weight. Eat fish at least twice a week. Recent research shows that eating oily fish containing omega-3 fatty acids (for example, salmon, trout, and herring) may help lower your risk of death from coronary artery disease. Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars. Drink more water. Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt. Aim to eat less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. Keep an eye on your portion sizes. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY There are dozens of activities that get our feet moving and our blood pumping. Our bodies were made to move and physical activity is vital. Whether it is included as a structured exercise program or just a part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart. According to one of the latest joint American Heart Association/American College of Sports Medicine guidelines on physical activity, all healthy adults ages 18-65 should be getting at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity at least five days a week. Another study shows that adding weight resistance training into your routine will not only increase your strength and stability but will increase your bone mass. Physical activities could include: Swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic exercise, walking, running or yoga. There are many activities to choose from. Find the physical activity that suits you best and begin your “heart healthy” physical activity program. LEARN CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) In the event that you find yourself in a situation where you need to help someone who is in cardiac arrest or has stopped breathing for any reason, prepare yourself ahead of time by taking a CPR class. Knowing how to call for help and performing CPR until medical help arrives on the scene, may save the life of someone you love, someone you know or someone you have just met. Training is available in most communities. Contact your local fire department, local hospital or Red Cross chapter to take these courses. The first step to a healthy heart is learning the simple things you can do every day. By enjoying nutritious meals and engaging in a physical activity program, you can help to reduce the risk of heart disease. There are many resources to help you choose the activities that are right for you. You will find many resources on-line and in your community. A good place to start is: www.americanheart.org I challenge you to begin this year by taking better care of your amazing heart. You will find that your amazing heart will take better care of you. |
