How to properly protect your heart and arteries. Damage to the arteries is the basis of cardiovascular disease.
Fortunately, everyone is able to act, at their own level, on major risk factors. On average, 5 to 6 liters per minute, or more than 7000 liters a day. This is the amount of blood that the heart pumps to distribute oxygen and nutrients to all organs. When the arteries lose elasticity, if they are attacked by nicotine and too high blood pressure, or if they react to blood too loaded with sugar and cholesterol, they become sick. This disease is atherosclerosis.
