Cardiovascular/Circulatory System

Stress is the #1 Killer of Any Disease What we eat has a big effect on how our heart works. *The heart is a muscle. It consists of three layers of overlapping muscle. It is an “electrical system”. It consists of 2 chambers (an upper and lower chamber). We have pulmonary and aortic valves. They open and close with the flow of blood. The heart does not get bad with “wear and tear”. The heart goes bad because of an imbalance - plaque and enzymes build up in the valves. The Heart works in an order, affecting these body parts: brain, lungs, trunk, then arms and legs. *As we get older we pump less oxygen It is important to intake Water Fruits Vegetables Exercise *Raw fruits and vegetables are better than cooked    This is a Vein of the Body
