13.679 -> the strimmer he's outside edging the
15.839 -> lawn the strimmer will anything that
18.3 -> runs off electricity should keep him

21.96 -> course we'll have no grass left I know
24.96 -> brilliant isn't it we'll save a fortune
27.029 -> on our gardening bills well all the more
29.789 -> reason to get his new heart finished lab
32.46 -> coats at the ready quick recap the heart
36.239 -> pumps oxygen-rich blood and nutrients
38.52 -> all around the body through a network of
40.77 -> blood vessels now the heart is a
42.54 -> hard-working organ and like every other
44.73 -> organ it needs oxygen-rich blood to
47.489 -> special blood vessels called coronary
49.829 -> arteries supply blood directly to the
51.989 -> heart muscle to keep it pumping
53.579 -> sometimes a fatty plaque that's a kind
56.76 -> of gunk
57.539 -> builds up on the inside of the coronary
60 -> arteries this leads to them becoming
62.16 -> narrower in hardening it's called
64.949 -> atherosclerosis or coronary heart
67.979 -> disease this can take years to develop
71.13 -> and so maybe undetected for a long time
74.28 -> so where does all the gunk come from
76.32 -> this when you eat fatty foods like
79.229 -> burgers pizza and cakes the fat is
82.32 -> carried around your bloodstream with all
84.75 -> the other nutrients if there's too much
86.85 -> fat it begins to stick as a gunky
91.53 -> couting to the walls of the arteries and
95.97 -> then it's a bit like when the pipes in
98.28 -> the sink get clogged up the water
100.29 -> courtrand down as fast
104.43 -> narrowed arteries can leave the heart
106.869 -> muscle short of oxygen which can lead to
109.27 -> angina this is a pain or tightness felt
112.119 -> in the chest arm jaw neck
114.52 -> or stomach and usually is worse when
116.89 -> sufferers try to do something energetic
119.14 -> if an artery becomes completely blocked
121.39 -> part of the heart muscle is starved of
123.369 -> oxygen this is a heart attack this could
126.22 -> lead to cardiac arrest which is where
127.869 -> your heart completely stops beating now
132.52 -> don't worry
133.75 -> you can't catch a heart attack and it's
136.269 -> not something that normally affects
137.769 -> children it's almost always caused by
140.35 -> damage that's built up over years the
143.2 -> good news is that 80% of cases can be
146.019 -> prevented and if you look after your
147.94 -> heart you'll increase your chances of
149.89 -> staying healthy when you're a grown or
151.9 -> and it's pretty simple to take good care
153.91 -> of your heart for starters by not
155.86 -> smoking and simply watching how much fat
158.019 -> you eat it doesn't just make you wobble
160.09 -> on the outside it clogs things up inside
162.58 -> a healthy diet with lots of fruit and
165.16 -> vegetables will help keep your blood

180.82 -> sometimes there are warning signs like
183.67 -> chest pains which can help people to
186.43 -> tackle the problem before it becomes
188.41 -> more serious you know the machines in
190.72 -> hospitals that make that fear beep sound
194.01 -> that's the one it's called an
197.88 -> electrocardiogram it's a machine that
200.23 -> doctors use to check how well the heart
202.69 -> is beating and is a helpful way to spot
205.329 -> problems if someone is worried they
207.7 -> might have heart trouble it's just one
