Why is it important to have a healthy heart?

The most important part of our body is our heart because without it, we can’t stay alive. The heart pumps and pushes blood around our body. It takes 60 seconds for the blood to circulate around our body then it goes back to the heart again. That’s why t is called Circulatory system.

When you get a heart attack, it means that your heart is not beating properly and you can die from it if you do not get help right away. You should be brought to the hospital very quickly so that you can get medical help from the doctors. Some people suffer from heart attacks because their heart is full of fats and the blood cannot circulate properly. Some people can have heart attacks when they get very scared, or when they have huge problems in life or when their heart is weak because of heart diseases.

When you run very fast and you get tired, your heart beats very, very fast and it pumping blood fast as well. We should look after our body so we can have a healthy heart. Doing some exercises such as playing rugby, futsal, basketball, touch and softball will keep us healthy and strong.

It is very important that we should eat healthy foods like vegetables and fruits and some meat, get plenty of sleep and rest, drink plenty of milk and water so that we can keep our body and heart healthy.
