Heart

The heart is the most amazing organ for me. They will ask why, and I ask them what would happen to us without this organ? Even though, what would it be for us to have only the heart? Therefore, I could not say that it is the most important since without the other organs it would be of no use.
let's talk about what the heart is:
It is the main organ of the circulatory system.It is a hollow muscular organ that functions as an aspirating and impending pump that drives blood through the arteries to distribute it throughout the body. The human heart is the size of a fist (approximately 12 centimeters long and 8 centimeters wide), weighs between 250 and 350 grams, which is equivalent to 0.40% of body weight.
Where is this organ so cool?
It is located in the central region of the thorax, between the two lungs. It is surrounded by a thick fibrous membrane called pericardium. The heart is shaped like an inclined pyramid, the pointed portion of the pyramid is tilted to the left and down.
Some of the diseases that can alter the normal functioning of the heart are:
Hypertension, high triglycerides, angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, PAD, atrial fibrillation.
Finally, how to keep the heart healthy ?:
practice physical exercise every day, follow a healthy and balanced diet, quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, maintain optimal weight, etc.

About love, pets and friendship

I have never liked animals so much, but I had some. I had a Siberian Husky, she was called Chelsea; 2 water turtles, who were very tender and we never named them, but my father told them Piti and Poti. Those were the only pets I have had. 4 years ago for my birthday, my grandmother came with the news that she adopted a puppy and brought him the same day to meet him, he was so small and fluffy. We loved each other from the first day. My grandmother at that time did not live very close to my house, so I did not see her so much, but when I went to visit her, we had a great time because the dog made us laugh a lot. When we went down the stairs in my grandmother's house and I carried him in my arms he moved his paws in a really funny way. Some time ago my grandmother moved from her house and now she lives near to so I can visit her a lot. When I go to my grandmother´s house I play with him and he follows me everywhere. Now I really want to have a puppy. I'm waiting to have it a

 I'm studying food engineering since 2018 and I really liked the degree, I feel that it is entertaining, very interesting and important in people's life. From what I have heard, this career is not very well known, food engineers are often confused with being a chef or a nutritionist and not with food processing or the chemical part of food. A food engineer can serve as a Production or Development Engineer, Quality Assurance Manager, Production and Operations Manager in different industries. I'm still not sure in which field I want to work, but I'm sure that when I advance I will know it well. I mainly chose to study food engineering because food is a fundamental part for a healthy life and is not well in the whole world, since famine and overweight are present in a large part of the population, both have to do with the distribution of food around the world. After 3 years studying I realize that this goes much further, without food there is no life. That is why I could s

The most enjoyable subject

Hi friends, Today I am going to talk about my most enjoyable subject: Calculus. In Calculus 0 and Calculus 1 I really went to the class to talk with my partners, I didn´t pay attention and I learned in my house, I hace always done this, since I was in the school (I don´t understand the Teachers of Calculus or Maths, but I love the subject). Calculus 3 is more complicated, so I go to the class or I try to go and when I go, I sit down alone for pay attention. I have differents reasons why I love Calculus: 1. Calculus open your mind, helps you think and solve problems. 2. I love solve exercises 3. I enjoy doing the homework 4. I love every day know more about calculus. The classes of Calculus are mostly theoretical. In Calculus 2 are 21 students and 6 are from food engineering (yes, we are very few students) For my career calculus is very important, since I study engineering and I think it is very necessary to understand it. goodbye, see you in the next blog.
