Think of your heart as a pump, continually working to pump blood around the body delivering oxygen and food to the millions of tiny cells that all fit together to make us into living, breathing human beings. Day in day out this remarkable pump keeps on going, the average heart beats about 100,000 times a day, and pumps an amazing 5 litres of blood per minute when we are resting, and up to 30 litres of blood per minute during exercise - that's a great deal of work for just one organ, and for most of the time, we are not even aware of all the work that it is doing.
