heart...

The heart is an amazing muscle that beats around 100000 times a day.It is essentially a complex pump that is able to adjust blood pressure,flow and volume in order to provide your body with all the blood itneeds. The World Health Organization (W.H.O) estimates that 60 percent of the world’s cardiac patients will be Indian by 2010.In India, heart disease is the single largest cause of death in the country with heart attacks being responsible for one third of all deaths caused by heart diseases. With modernization, a large proportion of Indians are trading healthy traditional diets for fatty foods, physical jobs for deskbound sloth, the relative calm of the country side for the stressful city.Some changes in the heart and blood vessels normally occur with age,but many others are modifiable factors that, if not addressed, can lead to heart disease. So, maintaining the heart in good condition is most essential for you to live a longer life.
