Broken hearts are real. They are caused by the stress of losing someone you love. Doctors think they have a cure. Researchers conducted tests on 76 heartbroken people. The people all had weekly counselling and did lots of exercise. Doctors were surprised at how counselling "improved heart function and patients' fitness".
Thousands of people have a broken heart. It can double the risk of dying early. People can get chest pain, shortness of breath, and tiredness. The illness makes the heart bigger and rounder. The research shows the importance of the brain-heart relationship. It said mental and physical therapy can help people.
