The body is an amazing system.

I found a book in my elementary school library when I was ten called 'All about You' which was a book on the human body. I was hooked.

The circulatory system of man and the vertebrate animals can be considered as made up of a small number of organs or subordinate systems, which are easy to recognize anatomically, and the functions of which are on the whole quite distinct.

Nitric oxide is a key biological messenger within the body. When released by the cells lining your arteries, it makes the walls of the arteries relax, allowing more blood to flow.

Simply switching to a healthy, plant-based diet can lessen stroke risk by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure, flooding your body with antioxidants and improving blood flow.

...The blood from the right chamber of the heart must arrive at the left chamber but there is no direct pathway between them.

For it is by the heart's vigorous beat that the blood is moved, perfected, activated, and protected from injury and coagulation.
