Our Heart
The heart is a small machine that beats a thousand times a day. While the heart possesses its own command system and nervous system, its functioning can nonetheless be modified by the brain and the central nervous system.
The cardiac rhythm is under the direct influence of our emotions, anxieties and stress. Any of which can make the heart beat very quickly or in an irregular way. Whenever the oxygen rate in the blood decreases, the heartbeat’s rhythm increases. The quantity of oxygen or carbon dioxide in the blood, blood pressure, one’s level of physical activity, body heat, as well as the intensity of stress or effort are among the data that the brain transmits to the heart, altering its rhythm.
