CIRCULATORY AND RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM

THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
•The Two systems

• Is a vast network of organs and vessels that is responsible for the flow of blood,
nutrients, oxygen and other gases, and hormones to and from the cells.
•Circulatory System
The end of a relationship
really can "break your heart"
The heart do not need a
body
You lose a lot of water just by
breathing.
•Respiratory System
• Is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.
The lungs are the only organs
that can float on water.
• Rather than the definitions, here is some amazing things you don’t know about your
circulatory and respiratory system

YOUR LUNGS ARE NOT IDENTICAL
IN SIZE
• Do you know that:

FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT
HEALTH
• Some bad habits affecting the circulatory and respiratory system. These bad habits are also
called “risk factors.”

• Tobacco use, whether it is smoking or
chewing tobacco, increases risks of
cardiovascular disease. The risk is
especially high if you started smoking
when young, smoke heavily or are a
woman. Passive smoking is also a risk
factor for cardiovascular disease. It
also contains cancer causing
substance called carcinogens that
causes lung cancer
• Indoor Air Pollutants, the
Unrecognized Killers In Low and
Middle Income Countries.
• Physical inactivity increases the risk
of heart disease and stroke by 50%.
• Obesity is a major risk for
cardiovascular disease and
predisposes you to diabetes.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH
OF THE CIRCULATORY AND
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

• Exercise: Exercise and workouts are the best way to keep your body healthy. Routine
workouts generate a proper blood flow in the body which reduces the chances of getting
circulatory system diseases. They also increase the oxygen level in the body which is the
primary need of the body. You can opt for jogging, cycling, swimming or any other sports
which can keep your body working.
•Maintaining the health of the Two
Systems
Some habits to avoid having a disease
 Here is a video about a proper cardio workout. Let’s Watch and Enjoy!

• Take Proper Rest: Your
body needs proper rest
after a day's long work
hence try to get at least 7
hours sleep, in every 24
hours. It will remove toxins
from your body and will
maintain proper blood
flow. Avoid sleeping extra
as it will result in poor
blood circulation in your
body.
• Control Alcohol: It has
been observed that
small amounts of alcohol
specifically red wine can
improve the blood
circulation. But excess
consumption of alcohol
may take you to many
health complications.
Hence, it is very
necessary to keep an
eye on your alcohol
consumption.

• Quit Smoking: Smoking is
the cause of a number
of diseases among which
circulatory system
diseases are the most
common ones. If you are
already suffering from
circulatory system
diseases, then smoking
may even cause death.
Hence, it is best to avoid
it completely.

• Having a garden: Filling
your house with plants
can improve the air
quality in your home
• Drinking water : "Circulation is
vital to all of the body's
functions, and water makes up
a large part of blood volume.”
So make sure you drink enough
water every day and don’t
allow yourself to get
dehydrated, causing undue
taxation on your circulatory
system. Drinking plenty of water
can also hold thin mucus
secretions that accumulate in
your lungs.

Some important habits for a healthy life
• Eating a balanced diet:
A well based diet
combining several health
nutrients can help
improve body functions
and the respiratory
system. If you’re hoping
to start dieting, include
foods that contain high
levels of protein.

• Stay Away from Stress: In
our busy routine, we
forget about our health
and take a lot of mental
and physical stress. Any
type of stress can lead to
a number of circulatory
diseases. Meditation has
proved to be one of the
best ways to get rid of
the problems of stress.

AS 100 MPH.

ACTIVITIES THAT CAN MAKE
THESE SYSTEMS HEALTHY
• These activities increases your respiratory and heart rate and essentially challenging your
heart to work harder and become stronger.

• Brisk walking
The human body was born to walk. Whether you rack up the
miles on a treadmill or hit the road, brisk walking is a natural way
to improve your fitness. Wear supportive, comfortable walking
shoes, strap on your iPod and get moving. Though a leisure stroll
is better than sitting on your couch, push yourself to walk at a
fast pace to achieve a moderate intensity level.
• Running
Though more challenging than walking, running is another
heart-healthy physical activity that the human body is ready-
made to do (barring physical limitations or injuries). In addition, it
is one of the best ways to burn calories (a 150-pound person
can burn 100 calories per mile), a bonus if you are also trying to
lose weight to reduce your risk of heart disease. If you are a
beginner to running, start out with a brisk walk and add 1 to 2
minutes of running every 5 minutes of walking. As you get more
fit, you can increase the minutes you run until you don't need to
walk in between.
• How much exercise do you need
for your health?
• Experts recommend doing some form of moderate aerobic activity for at least 150
minutes or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week. Though any aerobic
exercise is good for your heart, these five physical activities are top-notch for heart
and lungs health.

• Swimming
The pool may be a great place to float lazily along, but that
water can also be a full body fitness challenge. Swimming laps
or even participating in water fitness classes will not only raise
your heart rate and improve your heart health, the water
provides multi-directional resistance that will improve your
muscular strength and tone. Swimming is a safe alternative if
you have joint problems that walking or running can aggravate.
• Cycling
Another cardiovascular activity that is easy on the joints, cycling
is a low-impact exercise that you can do solo in the gym, in a
spin class, or outside on the road or trails. Make efficient use of
your cycling time and bike to work or to do your errands. Even
better, join a cycling club and enjoy the camraderie. While your
heart is pumping you'll also be building strength and toning your
lower body as well as your core muscles, if you take your bike
off-road.

• Interval or circuit training
If doing a solid stint of aerobic exercise bores you tears, mix up
your cardio. For example, for every 3 minutes of cardio, do 1
strength training exercise or a high-intensity burst of cardio for 1
minute. Another option is to choose 5 to 10 strength training
exercises and perform 1 set of each, doing lower weight and
higher repetitions while moving quickly from one exercise to the
next to keep your heart rate up. This type of training will not only
keep you motivated to exercise, it will improve your muscular
strength, endurance and heart health.
