Salus Protecor Herz-Aktiv
Almost everywhere in the world, the heart is regarded as a sign of love. Its origins go back to antiquity. As early as the 8th century BC, heart-shaped symbols were painted on jugs and vases in Greece. However, the artists did not want to depict the human heart, but rather ivy leaves. These were regarded by the ancient Greeks as a sign of eternal love. In the Middle Ages, the ivy leaf was rediscovered as a symbol of love from ancient sources. And because (purple) red had already established itself as the colour of love, the ivy leaf was also painted red by the illuminators. After the red ivy leaf was used to represent the human heart even in ecclesiastical art from the 13th century onwards, this "red heart" developed into the symbol of romantic love almost everywhere in the following period.
A team of researchers at the University of California at Davis studied the heartbeat of lovers and made an exciting discovery. They noticed that the heartbeat of couples synchronised even when they were several metres apart. The human heart is about the size of a fist in an adult and weighs between 250 and 300 grams. Compared to other mammals, this is not very much. The heart of a giraffe, for example, weighs just under 12 kg. Although our heart is relatively small, it is certainly comparable to a high-performance engine. It is the only muscle that never takes a break. In normal everyday life, the heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute. By the age of 71, it will have beaten an average of 2.4 billion times. Men have a larger heart and larger blood vessels than women. However, the heart beats faster in women.
In everyday life, we are usually only aware of our heartbeat when we are physically exhausted, freshly in love or particularly nervous. Our most important muscle usually works unnoticed in the background. Whether the efficiency of our heart is maintained, however, depends strongly on our lifestyle. A conscious diet also benefits the cardiovascular system. Junk food and an excess of salt and sugar, on the other hand, have just as negative an effect as alcohol and nicotine. Sufficient exercise, enough sleep and rest, on the other hand, benefit not only our general well-being, but also our heart.
