A Healthy Heart

It's our control center, our constant internal pacemaker. It's the strongest muscle in our body, but can get broken easily. It's the size of our fist, but can feel as big as Texas. It is inside all of us, but we also tend to wear it on our sleeve. We live from it, and we love with it.

Our heart. It's one of the most vital organs in our bodies, and one that, like most things, needs to be maintained and cared for.

One of the most optimal and easiest ways to do this is to be conscious of what we actually put into our bodies.
