MOMO IS YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
I present to you MOMO, a character I have created for my portfolio project about the human heart. MOMO is your new heart friend, which is not perfect. It goes through phases. We create a sound that changes through happiness, sadness, and excitement. We create sound, we don’t hear but it speaks for our health. Sometimes louder than words. Momo is more than just a muscle. It is not in charge of our feelings, emotions, pain, thoughts, speech, or sight. However, its work enables the work of everything else. Work of our brain, organs, muscles, and every single body cell. Slight changes in tempo and power of heartbeats can derange metabolism. Decreased blood circulation leads to cerebral ischemia, which leads to cerebral hypoxia, and lastly, death of our brain which is equal to clinical death. Each of these consequences is counted as part of civilization diseases that have existed as a result of the last two centuries because of changes in diet, stressful workplace, low physical activity, as well as standing or sedentary lifestyle. The world is changing, and living comfort is changing but our heart is not.
