How is the heart like a well-disciplined athlete?
The heart may be compared to a highly disciplined athlete, always giving 100%. Like men who pump iron, the heart literally works out every second of a male’s life. Place your hand over your heart and imagine each beat representing a “no pain, no gain,” workout, every second of every day of your life – even when you are sleeping! Acknowledging this amazing fact, it is imperative that males maintain healthy hearts. With the heart pumping rigorously over 70 times per minute, it is no wonder that heart disease is the leading killer of men. Prevention is the best medicine for heart health.
