Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. It’s the No 1 killer among women.

More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. One in three adults has some form of cardiovascular or heart disease.

Many of these deaths and risk factors are preventable and food choices have a big impact on your heart’s health, even if you have other risk factors.

Risk factors such as age, gender, and family history cannot be controlled. In most cases with lifestyle changes and healthy food choices, you can prevent and control risk factors of heart disease such as:

High blood cholesterol
High blood pressure
Excess weight and obesity

The Amazing Human Heart

From the moment your heart begins beating until the moment it stops, it works tirelessly for you. Did you know that your heart serves one function… to pump oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to every living cell throughout your body and to remove the carbon dioxide and waste products made by those cells.

In order to achieve this goal, your heart must continuously beat for your entire lifespan.

Here are some interesting facts about your heart… did you know the human heart:

Is an amazing muscle that serves as a pump
Is the key organ in your body’s circulatory system
Beats approximately 80,000 to 100,000 times a day
Pumps almost 2,000 gallons of blood through approximately 60,000 miles of blood vessels that link the cells of your organs and body parts – which is far enough to circle the earth more than twice.
If you live 70 to 90 years, your heart will beat approximately “2 to 3 billion times” and pump “50 to 65 million” gallons of blood during your life.
Because of this vital role, a non-beating heart always results in death.
