Your Heart

The heart is the most delicate organ of the body. Licensed Surgeons are the only ones who can do operations of the heart. It is a muscular, pear-shaped organ composed of four chambers with valves in them. It lived in the middle of the chest more to the left
than to the right, and is about the size of a fist. It is enclosed in a membrane called the pericardium.

The heart is divided into two parts separated by the septum, a muscular wall. It is the right part that receives blood from the veins and propels it to the lungs, where it discharges carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen, while the left part receives the left part from the lungs and then it pumps to the rest of the body through the aorta.

The heart is rarely damaged by a blow as it is being protected by a tough and resilient ribs.  It is not to be ignored however, of the limits to the amount of strain that should be placed, especially on the middle-aged, old or damaged heart.

If you are over 40 and engaged in a strenuous activities such as high altitude hiking can  cause a strained heart. Overweight can also strain your heart as it has to work much harder than it would if your weight is normal. 

Avoid obesity and have the right time for exercise. Practice eating with a good diet. with regular spacing of meals to help the heart works at its best. Try not to be chronically fatigued by keeping your work and social life under control. Reducing pills that may contain thyroid medication is a powerful heart stimulant so you have to avoid it.
