Carethics

So what if you have passed the 50th year of your life? ‘It doesn’t matter, I’m still as charming.’ So you may think. But are you really that young at heart?

Did you know that your heart goes through some natural changes as you age?

As you grow:

1.Your heart may become smaller

2.The number of heart muscles start decreasing, degenerating and your heart becomes weaker, pumping lesser blood

3.The heart valves may start thickening , restricting the blood flow, causing chest pain and shortness of breadth

4.Your arteries may start thickening, thus increasing your blood pressure

So before you think you are still ‘young at heart’, just give it a check.

However, regular physical activity and exercises, in consultation with your doctor and the power of positive thinking are sure to keep your heart healthy!
