The cardiovascular system is made up of veins, arteries and capillaries. It is a vast network of organs and vessels that is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to and from cells. In addition, a healthy circulatory system can regulate blood pressure and boost immune system.

Immune system is a host of defence system that protects our body against ‘foreign’ invaders. Along with cardiovascular health and fitness, overall immune system will be improved and this will allow the human body to ward off many of the debilitating diseases. Conversely, a poor cardiovascular system can weaken the immune system. Fat build up in arteries can weaken our immune system and subsequently causes various heart diseases.

Healthy cardiovascular system is crucial to human health. Currently, cardiovascular disease account for nearly one-third of deaths throughout the world. An overburdened heart may cause various diseases including irregular heartbeat, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol level.

Once you reach 30 years old, you should start to take better care of your cardiovascular system.
