  • Today, your heart will pump around 2,229 gallons (8,426 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 5 gallons (17 liters) of blood

  • This blood circulates through your body 3 times a minute

  • Your blood travels around 24,371 miles a day (39,213 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 91,392 miles (147,050 km) long

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

  • Your heart beats approximately 151,993 times a day

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