LOVE THY HEART – HEALTHY HEART CAMPAIGN
Do you know, our heart beats about 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime?
Do we realize, it pushes millions of gallons of blood to every part of our body?
Heart pumps blood supplying oxygen, fuel, hormones, multiple compounds
and a host of essential cells to all parts of our body. It also whisks away the
waste products of metabolism. When the heart stops, essential functions fail
and some almost instantly.
Given the heart's never-ending workload, it's a wonder it performs so well, for
so long, for so many people. But it can also fail, brought down by a poor diet
and lack of exercise, smoking, infection, unlucky genes and more. A key
problem is atherosclerosis. This is the accumulation of pockets of cholesterol-
rich gunk inside the arteries. These pockets, called plaque, can limit blood flow
through arteries that nourish the heart the coronary arteries and other
arteries throughout the body. When a plaque breaks apart, it can cause a heart
attack or stroke. A healthy lifestyle, especially when started at a young age,
goes a long way to preventing cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle changes and
medications can nip heart-harming trends, like high blood pressure or high
cholesterol, in the bud before they cause damage.
There are multiple ways by which we can diagnose the condition of our heart,
identify potential problems and proactively manage its health. A variety of
medications, operations and devices can help support the heart, if damage
occurs.
