The 9 conditions for a strong heart

The heart is the most precious organ of the body. It is a special muscle that works like a pump and sends the blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body, supplying it with nutrients through the arteries.
Then the blood returns to the heart through the veins to travel again to the lungs.
To respond successfully to the continuous work of the pump, the heart needs healthy walls are able to constrict, in order to move the blood circulation, but also to expand, in order to fill up again with new blood after each contraction. This process is repeated approximately 70 times per minute.
