Our incredible cardio vascular system is about 70,000 miles long, enough to circulate twice around the planet! One billion of capillaries in our amazing body are responsible for the transfer of oxygen and nutrients. They are so small that it takes 10 of them to equal the thickness of a hair!
Can you now imagine now, by looking at this fine, vast intricate pumping and filtration system, why a happy, well-nourished and active body has a better chance to nurture a healthy heart and blood vessels?
“The thousand mysteries around us would not trouble but interest us,
~ Nietze
if only we had cheerful, healthy hearts”.
