The Lungs & Why They Matter
What Are the Lungs?

The lungs are two spongy organs located in your chest. They are responsible for breathing—bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide.

Without healthy lungs, every organ in your body suffers because oxygen is essential for life.

How the Lungs Work

When you breathe in:
Air enters through the nose or mouth
Travels down the windpipe (trachea)
Moves into smaller airways (bronchi)
Reaches tiny air sacs called alveoli

The alveoli transfer oxygen into the blood, and carbon dioxide is removed when you breathe out.

❤️ Importance of Pulse Rate

Your pulse rate shows how fast your heart is pumping blood around your body. It is a simple but powerful sign of your overall health.

🫀 Why Pulse Rate Is Important:

Helps detect heart problems early

Shows how your body responds to exercise

Indicates stress, fever, or dehydration

Monitors fitness level

Guides medical treatment in emergencies

A normal resting pulse for adults is 60–100 beats per minute.

📌 Health Tip: Check your pulse regularly. A very fast, very slow, or irregular pulse should be medically evaluated.

Your pulse is your heart’s signal — listen to it.

Understanding Your Heart Pulse (Pulse Rate)

Your heart pulse is the rhythmic beating you feel when your heart pumps blood through your arteries. Every time your heart beats, it pushes blood around your body — and that wave of blood flow is what you feel as your pulse.

Simply put:
👉 Your pulse tells you how fast your heart is beating.

💓What Is a Normal Pulse?

For most adults:

60 – 100 beats per minute (bpm) is normal at rest.

For children:

Usually higher than adults.

Athletes:

Can have a lower resting pulse (40–60 bpm) because their hearts are stronger and more efficient.

LDL (Bad cholesterol): Causes blockage in blood vessels

HDL (Good cholesterol): Helps remove excess fat from the blood

⚠️ High cholesterol is often silent
You may feel fine, but damage can still be happening inside your body.

❌ What increases cholesterol
Fried and fatty foods
Excess red meat
Processed foods
Smoking and alcohol
Lack of exercise

How to control cholesterol

Choose fish and lean protein
Exercise regularly 🚶🏽‍♀️

Many people think ulcer is caused by pepper or stress alone, but medically, the major cause of ulcer is a *bacteria called H. pylori.*
This bacteria damages the stomach lining, allowing acid to create painful wounds called ulcers.

Other contributors include frequent use of painkillers, excess stomach acid, alcohol, smoking, irregular meals, and prolonged stress.

⚠️ Note:
Pepper or spicy food does not cause ulcer, but it can worsen symptoms.

Early diagnosis and proper treatment can completely heal ulcer.

Happy New Year
