Heart Health

Our heart is the pump that keeps us alive by moving blood through the body and removing wastes from our tissues. The heart is about the size of our fist and is located between the lungs in our chest; the heart moves 4-5 litres of blood throughout our body every minute – more when we are active.

The heart is a muscular organ that contracts to squeeze out the blood. A healthy heart has a good blood supply to its own muscle to give it energy to keep pumping all day, every day. One of the more common causes of heart disease is the narrowing of the heart's own arteries with fatty material, reducing the oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart muscle; and sometimes these arteries can block completely.

To maintain a healthy heart pay attention to healthy lifestyle factors, with regular exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, and the maintenance of healthy weight range, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
