Right now, without you even thinking about it, your heart is working hard. The heart is a strong muscle that pumps blood to every part of your body. It beats about 100,000 times every single day!

Even while you sleep, your heart never stops. In one year, it beats around 35 million times. The blood it pumps carries oxygen and food to your body and keeps you alive. So the next time you feel your heartbeat, remember that this small muscle is one of the hardest workers in your body.
