The heart beats faster in order to eliminate extra waste. This usually occurs while active, like exercise for example. Notice how you have an increased heart-rate? That's because the muscles (such as your heart) need to work overtime to pump blood that carry nutrients to the heart, and the waste away from the heart. This process needs to occur more rapidly when active, thus the heart works faster.
