HOW THE HEART WORKS

Like a car, your heart is the engine of your body. It’s a muscle that continuously pumps and is at the centre of your circulatory system sending blood through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries delivering nutrients and oxygen to the cells throughout your body while removing waste products such as carbon dioxide.
A critical piece of kit to be sure, yet 37% of all deaths this year and many more disabilities will be caused by a heart related incident. Yet Cardiovascular Disease remains one of the most preventable diseases known. If you want your body to work and keep working well you need to take care of your heart.
