HEART & LUNG HEALTH RESOURCES

Your heart is the most important muscle in your body because it pumps blood and oxygen to all of your organs.When your heart doesn’t get the care it needs, serious problems can develop in the lining of the arteries, which then lead to plaque formation.  Plaque is what leads to heart attacks and blockage of blood flow in the arteries.
Your lungs are part of the respiratory system, a group of organs and tissues that work together to help you breathe. The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases. Lung capacity declines as you age. Keep your lungs healthy by taking good care of yourself every day. Eat a balanced diet, exercise and reduce stress to breathe easier.

Below are some resources on heart and lung health in Tigrinya, English, and Arabic.
