"Heartbeats"

Heartbeats refer to the rhythmic contractions of the heart that pump blood through the body. Each heartbeat is generated by electrical impulses that signal the heart muscles to contract and relax, allowing oxygen and nutrients to circulate while removing waste products. The number of heartbeats per minute, known as the heart rate, can vary based on activity level, emotions, and overall health. A typical resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Monitoring heartbeats is essential for assessing cardiovascular health and can indicate fitness levels or potential medical issues.
