The best medication we can give to our heart is exercise/sports medication. It is the best gift an individual gives their heart because it helps in the increase of the blood flow.

The heart is a major component of the body and it controls 90% of human daily activity. It controls the activity of the entire central nervous system.

The heart can't be productive or can't give what the body needs if it is not maintained and one of the ways for us to maintain our heart is to partake in a sport that helps the heart to send information down to the body freely and easy without no stress.

the body can't stay active if its major component isn't healthy and strong.

Those who do not take care of their heart by involving in a sporting activity are prone to have diseases that most times may need the attention of the doctors and medications which will slow down their daily productivity.
