We
all have hearts—even earthworms have hearts of sorts. (An earthworm
has "aortic arches" that act as hearts.) We all want to keep our hearts
healthy (guess what we cannot live without?). And most of us even
know how to do that.
...But
we don't always do it!
Today
is a great day to re-commit ourselves to doing right by our hearts.
- Eating healthy foods, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and limiting sugar, fat, and salt, is a HUGE step.
- Not smoking is one of the biggest health decisions we can make.
- Having an active lifestyle, with lots of exercise or physical work or outdoor sports, is very important.
- And yearly check ups, blood pressure and blood tests, help as well.
This website has a video about the
human heart for younger kids, and this other website
is better for older kids.
