FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL HEART AWARENESS MONTH
INTERESTING FACTS …
The average resting heart rate for an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute. EVERY minute !
Imagine you doing a biceps curl 100,000 times a day and up to 3 billion times in an average lifespan. While the heart of an adult sitting on the couch moves between 5 and 6 liters (1.3 to 1.5 gallons) of blood every minute, an elite athlete in a 100-meter dash might pump up to 35 liters (over 9 gallons) in that time.
Each day your heart pumps 2,000 gallons of blood along the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body.
That distance is enough to go around the world twice.
Whew…
So be good to your heart !
