The heart, a vital organ in our bodies beats about 2.5 billion times over the average lifetime, pushing millions of gallons of blood to every part of the body.  This steady flow carries with it oxygen, fuel, hormones, other compounds, and a host of essential cells.  It also whisks away the waste products of metabolism.  When the heart stops, essential functions fail, some almost instantly.

Studies showed that heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the world, taking lives at an estimated 17.9 million each year.  Health experts stressed that a healthy lifestyle is important for improving heart health, such as maintaining ideal weight, eating healthy, staying active, reducing cholesterol, and maintaining blood pressure.
