Heart

Heart

Heart is a pumping machine which keep us going as long as breathing is intact and brain is not dead.

Heart has a rhythm and systematic function. Attached to heart are our arteries as supplier of fresh blood to cells and veins as receiver of used blood from cells. 

Fresh blood is full of oxygen, vitamin D and nutrients extracted from food and water. 

Used blood is full of CO2 and nutrient waste which is replenished by sending used blood through lungs to refill with Oxygen and cleaning CO2, and by sending blood through complex system of digestive system.

In nut shell, Fresh blood is full of energy and used blood is full of waste.

Why heart start getting more pressure as we age. Why do blood pressure starts increasing as we age. Of course, more salt in food would increase it and more fat in food would also increase it due to restrictions in blood vessels.

So we start finding uneasiness or feeling of something wrong in us and we consult our doctor for it. Doctor do some test and then prescribe medication based on severity of problem. Doctor also suggest that you must take medicine on time, cut or stop on certain food intake and change your lifestyle by adding more activities like regular excercise.

We start taking our medicine, certain food intake is either restricted or stopped at all, alcohol restriction, salt restriction, fat restriction starts taking priority in our daily routines. We also buy track suit and running shoes and start walking, jogging or join gym.

Eventually majority of us do everything except doing excercise or not enough excercise. Diet control becomes part of daily debate.

Those who are focused and control all activities bring positive change in their body but majority fails in coping us with new life style and daily routine change. Why because they want to die of heart attack? No! No! No!

Simply because they don't know what is going inside and why they should bring positive change in themselves.

Very important: When we age our weight may go over board or our activities may down or our stress level goes sky rocketing due to work or family circumstances or due to lack of knowledge of ourself and how our body system works.

As we age, we get busy in family and at work. Stress, weight, wrong diet keep on increasing and muscle movement keep on decreasing.

Our arteries and veins, carrier of blood, starts getting restricted due to colestrol ànd constricted due to less blood demand by muscle cells. Our movement in daily life goes down because we sit or stand in certain position at work and then get stuck in couch at our home. Our muscles which require certain movement daily start getting jammed. Some muscle movements are hardly used enough. So blood flow keeps on going down in those muscle cells. 

Even if you have no colestrol, lack of certain muscle movement causes less blood flow in those muscles and worse case may stop at all. If 50% of our body muscle cells stop asking for food means they don't want blood supply because those muscles are not in use and eventually 50% blood supply would be out of commission which was resquired for those muscles which were active when we were busy playing and running around. 

Heart does not slow down in pumping. Just imagine what would happen to that 50% blood supply. We can't take it out either. It means it gets restricted in those blood circuits and it tries to push extra blood through active blood circuits. It means active blood circuit supply keep on increasing in flow  but those circuits try to push back that extra blood. As a result to make that blocked or slowed down circuits start working again the heart try to pump hard which increases the pressure in our arteries. 

So there may no colestrol, no over weight but restricted muscle movement asks for less blood and blood becomes surplus in the circuit.
