What Does The Heart Do?
The heart is like a pump that

pushes blood around the body.
We need to pump blood to the different organs in our body so that they can perform their functions well.
One half of the heart gets blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs.
The other half of the heart gets blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body.

Feel Your Pulse
You can feel the blood being pumped around your

body by feeling your pulse.
Press two fingers to your wrist or neck to feel the blood pumping in your body.

Racing Heart
When we do physical activities, our heart has to beat

faster to get the blood pumping quickly to our organs.
Run on the spot for a minute and then check your pulse again.

Doing exercise keeps our hearts healthy.

so that it can continue to pump blood around our body.
Regularly eating food that is high in fat can lead to heart disease.
