You never see it but it lives inside you. It does it's best to serve you from the moment you are born to last minute of your life. It is a muscle that is only the size of your fist and yet it is probably the strongest muscle in your body.

It is your heart muscle.

If you look after it it will look after you. If you abuse it it will kill you! If you manage to live until you are seventy then it will beat for you over two and a half billion times-yes that's right, amazing isn't it.

You can help it or you can hinder it. If you are like me you probably never even bothered thinking about it for years. I just took it for granted. After all when you are young you actually believe you are invulnerable. I think we almost believe we will live forever. Life seems to be an unlimited resource and getting old seems so far far away. After all you are just here to have a good time aren't you? Why should you worry about your heart. There is enough to worry about!

So you abuse your heart by your lifestyle, part of which you are conscious of and part of which you don't even know about. But you are a normal sort of person ...
... and you tend to believe what you read in the papers and what you see and hear on the television.

So when they tell you to leave the butter alone and eat margarine instead as it is better for you. You of course believe and act accordingly. In actual fact one of the the great modern day causes of heart disease is MARGARINE or rather the trans-fats that it contains.

You see when margarine was first invented it was far to ‘runny' so it had to be thickened up somehow. It was found that heating the vegetable oils caused them to solidify. The name given to this process was ‘hydrogenation'. But these killer fats bind themsleves with other ‘goo' to your arteries and form plaque.

The more your arteries close the more strain it puts on your heart, the bigger the pressure buildup and the ticking bomb is on count down . continued
