Everybody Has Heart

It pumps blood to your whole body, and blood has the stuff your cells need: nutrients, oxygen, and chemical regulators that help your body function. It also carries away carbon dioxide and other waste products.

Do something good for your heart today — like having some extra vegetables or taking a brisk walk. A healthy heart helps keep your tissues perfused — getting all that good stuff to your smallest vessels (and then carrying away the bad stuff) to keep your body in its best shape.
