February 2022 Blog How Big Is Your Heart?
How big is your heart?
As a powerful 50+ woman, do you struggle with ways to keep your heart healthy?
Just think about it, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. It is part of the autonomic nervous system.
Thank goodness that all of this remarkable reliability takes place without us having to think about it.
February is Healthy Heart Month-a perfect month for Valentine’s Day!
Here are a few heartful facts…
An adult heart is about the size of two hands clasped together. A child’s heart is about the size of a fist.
The youngest person who underwent heart surgery was one minute old.
More heart attacks occur on Monday than on any other day of the week.
The fairy fly, which is a kind of wasp, has the smallest heart of any living creature.
Your arteries are 4 millimeters thick (It doesn’t take much for greasy foods to clog them).
It only takes 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circulate through the entire body.
Christmas day is the most common day for heart attacks to occur. I wonder if it’s the surprise presents or the turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
Blood is about 78% water.
Gratitude
When you’re thinking about three things to be grateful for before you get out of bed, make your wonderful, incredible heart one of them.
You’ve probably heard the statistic that a sedentary lifestyle is worse for your body than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go out for a walk. Or cook a heart-healthy meal. Or dance. Or…what’s your favorite way to move your body? (Here I am hiking the 'M' in Bozeman with my friend Norah)
