There are a lot of components to a HEART. There are the valves, the rhythms, the blood, the love! What most of us wouldn't think about is why all these things are essential for a heart to work - a few things are essential for it to keep working. Oxygen for one. Exercise for two. I know, I know...exercise every day..blah, blah, blah... who does that? who has time? WHY?
Here's why: Each time you exercise the heart will grow little branches of heart [eeeew, right?]...that hold oxygen. If you shallow breathe at night, our oxygen levels decrease - making the heart work harder and harder [creating high blood pressure]. If the heart suffers enough - it will have an attack. If you have exercised and grew little branches of heart, the heart doesn't have to work as hard in times of need. So park your car further away in the parking lot and hoof it to the grocery store door. It's only 30 seconds longer...and a heart surgery is HOURS.
