Description

What is the human body's most important system? Answer: they're all equally important, but when we take special care of our cardiovascular and digestive health, we have a good chance at a long, relatively disease-free life. This collection of seven video clips covers many of the basic concerns and illnesses related to heart and gastric health. Each clip averages four minutes in length. Video clips include... Cholesterol: The heart is the engine of the body, and one important factor in keeping it healthy is cholesterol control. Cholesterol is a lipid or fat that is made in the liver from fatty foods. Cholesterol is carried in the blood, and we all need it to keep healthy-but on the other hand, too much cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream can be dangerous. Diabetes: Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people. Normally a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas, takes glucose or sugar from the bloodstream to the various cells of the body.
