SEPTEMBER 29 is WORLD HEART DAY!
Join me as I celebrate the heart in this new series called "You've Got Heart." Because cardiovascular health is paramount for everyone.
YOUR AMAZING HEART
For a muscle the size of a fist, the heart gets a lot done in a day.
In less than a minute, your heart will supply nuritent-rich blood to every cell in your body. In a day your heart will beat about 100,000 times shuttling 2,000 gallons of oxygen-saturated blood throughout your body.
The beating heart is strong enough to push all that blood through 60,000 miles of branching, twisting blood vessels that link cells, tissues, organs, and body parts. And it continues to push that 2,000 gallons of blood through your body over and over and over and over . . . day after day after day after day.
The heart is an amazing, hardworking muscle that often goes unnoticed, unless we wear it on our sleeve.
