Can you feel it beating?

Our heart needs to beat to keep us alive.

The  heart is a muscle in your body which begins working seven months before you are born. It never  stops, day and night until we die. The heart pumps the blood going around the body, non-stop. It’s made of a special muscle called cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscles our  involuntary because it works without you thinking about it.

It is very important  because it helps us to breathe and  keeps our blood going around our body. If you are born without a heart, you will be a stillborn. Our heart helps to pump the oxygen rich blood into our body.

It’s really important that you have a heart to keep you alive and safe. We are lucky that we have a heart to be alive and right exercising regularly.
