"Interlaces fingers and give knuckles a crack"
That is a question that is most likely going to get some old, outdated and "brainwashed by baloney" answers.
Let's get down to the actual most recent scientific version shall we?
Your heart, is not "just a pump" as the good Dr in "The alienist" stated in one of the shows, set in pre-twentieth century New York.
Yes, we have come a long way in a short time and, the most recent view of how we operate, is that we are an incredibly complex "micro-machine" and energy factory.
The average human produces their own body weight daily in invisible energy molecules we know as "ATP" aka Adenosine-Tri--phosphate.
Your heart is an electromagnetic generator of sorts, which, along with the mitochondrial symbiotic host are releasing that body sized load of micro-pulsed energy molecules 24/7.
What would happen if you went "low energy" and your little symbiotic just we're not perfuming up to par?
Well, your risk of heart attack and stroke would dramatically rise, due to the very fact that your red blood cells no longer had the ability to repel themselves from the walls of our arteries, which also have a greatly reduced negative charge.
So, in a nutshell, it's because we are, as a species, producing ever lower and lower amounts of ATP each and every generation that is born.
That's directly testable via a modern blood test called a %heteroplasmy that tells you just how many good mitochondria you have vs. how many are mutated and basically non-functional.
My question to you: Why is every child not being given this test at birth?
It's basically a crystal ball that can predict just how much risk you have of living a shorter lifespan in general.
