You are the heart
of your home. Take care of yourself.
Your heart is an amazing pump that forces blood around a network of blood
vessels in your body that would circle the Earth two and half times. This
small grapefruit size miracle muscle beats around 70 beats a minute –
100,800 beats a day – every day. With each beat it pumps the oxygen
and nutrients that nourish all the systems that carry on life in your body.

Can you name 5 things that comfort your
heart?
1. More comfort & less stress – slow down, relax, unwind, and
listen to your heart beat. Remember next time you’re rushed and
stressed, stop and take a few deep breathes. Take a comfort moment every
day. Wrap up in your Comfort Silkie blanket and reset your body and mind.
Learn how to be kind to your heart.
2. More comfort exercise – enjoy a walk or some exercise. It helps
your heart, your brain, and your bones. Take care of your body, it’s
the only one you have.
3. Eat comfort foods like veggies, fruits, whole grains that nourish your
heart.

“Forever in my heart.”
