Did you know…
• Your heart beats about 100,000
times in one day and about 35 million
times in a year. During an average
lifetime, the human heart beats more
than 2.5 billion times.
• In one day, your heart pumps the
blood in your body a total of 12,000
miles - four times the distance across
the United States from coast to coast.
• Every pound of excess fat contains
one extra mile of blood vessels for
the heart to supply.
