• Today, your heart will pump around 1,869 gallons (7,065 liters) of blood

• In your lifetime, your heart will pump 1.2 million barrels of blood

  (that’s the equivalent of 3 supertankers)

• Your body contains about 2 gallons (8 liters) of blood

• This blood circulates through your body 3 times a minute

• Your blood travels around 11,449 miles a day (18,421 km)

  (roughly halfway around the circumference of the earth)

• If you make a fist with your hand, your heart is about this size

  (A whale’s heart is roughly 400 times this size)

• Your entire cardiovascular system, if laid from end to end, is over 42,933 miles (69,079 km) long

  (that’s long enough to wrap around the world more than twice)

• Your heart beats approximately 127,444 times a day

  (by the time you die, your heart will have beat more than 2.5 billion times)
