Answer» Context : There are three main causes of heart attack. First of them is the plugging of the coronary arteries. Second is excess smoking. Third cause is the constant worry and anxiety.

It does its best under all circumstances. But it tells us some precautions which everybody should practice. We should keep the weight of body under control.

|
Answer» Context : The heart works like a pump all the twenty four hours. But its speed becomes faster with the mental worry or anxiety. It should be controlled. Heart attack is caused by the plugging of the coronary arteries. The seriousness of the trouble depends upon the size and position of plugged artery. Explanation : In this passage the heart tells that smoking is very injurious and it is one of the causes of heart trouble. Excess smoking means absorption of poisonous substance named nicotine. It mixes in the blood and makes the blood vessels narrow and hard. It constricts arteries particularly in the hands and feet, so the heart has to use more pressure for pushing the blood. Heart beatings become rapid. If a man leaves smoking, the functioning of the heart will become easier. |

Answer» Context : In this lesson the writer deals with the structure and functioning of the human heart. It works all the twenty four hours. Its function is just like a pump. It pushes the blood into the whole body through blood vessels. But with mental worry and anxiety of a man, the heart beating also becomes faster.

Sometimes he feels a sudden sharp pain in his chest while working in his office. John connects this trouble with the heart. But in reality it is due to over diet taken a few hours ago.
