25 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY HEART

Before I continue from where I stopped last time on the various diseases of the body, I felt I should let everyone know an important information about one of the most vital organs of the body; “THE HEART”.

It is the power house of the body which controls all the activities of the body by the in-flow and out-flow of oxygen (air), in and out of the body, (a process called respiration).

Without the heart, nothing works.

That is why it has to be properly protected and examined all the time to prevent it from some diseases which are termed heart diseases, and if it occurs may have no cure.

But I will not talk about the various diseases, I will talk about the tips on which if properly maintained / followed, will always prevent and protect our heart from all these diseases (breaking down).

25 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY HEART.
