Heart Conditions

Ever­yone knows that the heart is a vital organ. We cannot live without our heart. The primary function of the heart is to serve as a muscular pump propelling blood into the through vessels to and from all parts of the body.

Did you know:

  • The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, continuously pumping blood around our body through blood vessels.  Your heart beats around 100000 times a day, 36500000 times a year and over a billion times if you live beyond 30.
  • The heart is made up of four chambers, the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle.  There are four valves in the human heart, they ensure that blood only goes one way, either in or out.  Blood that leaves the heart is carried through arteries. The main artery leaving the left ventricle is the aorta while the main artery leaving the right ventricle is the pulmonary artery.
  • Blood going towards the heart is carried through veins. Blood coming from the lungs to the left atrium is carried through the pulmonary veins while blood coming from the body to the right atrium is carried through the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.
  • Heart attacks cause scar tissue to form amongst normal heart tissue, this can lead to further heart problems or even heart failure.

A lifestyle consisting of an overconsumption of trans-fatty acids and refined carbohydrates, combined with inadequate exercise and protein and micronutrients sets the stage for cellular inflammation which in turn creates a predisposition for hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.

Though Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy does not directly work with the heart it is working with the lymphatic system and elimination processes of the body e.g bowel/kidney etc and therefore assisting the body in its removal of waste products which is part of the predisposition to heart complaints.
