The Heart

The heart is the strongest muscle is your body. Your hearts only has one job and the job is to pump blood. The heart is also one of the most importuned part of your body because the second your hearts stops beating and the second your hearts stops pumping blood you will die. The heart has four chambers. They are called the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle and the left ventricle. The atriums are at the upper part of your heart and ventricles are in the lower part of your heart. Another thing in your heart is your valves. Valves are small parts in your heart that let the blood flow through one chamber to another chamber. When you hear your heart beat you are hearing your valves open and close. In a day the your heart pumps around 1,900 gallons in 24 hours! One way to harm your heart is eating lots of fatty food. Fatty food sticks to your heart and that makes a harder job for the heart to pump the blood. If the fatty food sticks to your valves then the blood just stays in one of the atriums or ventricles. If that happens you might need to have a operation which is quite serious. So do you want to keep your heart healthy? That is really easy. Don't eat too much of fatty food all the time. You can eat fatty food once a meal but just don't eat too much. Another way to keep your heart healthy is to exercise quite often. If you just keep on doing these two way to keep your heart healthy you will be healthy and fit for the rest of your life!
