* Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day, more than 30 million times per year, and about 2.5 billion times in a 70-year lifetime *Each day, 2,000 gallons (more than 7,570 liters) of blood travel many times through about 60,000 miles (96,560 kilometers) of blood vessels that branch and cross, linking the cells of our organs and body parts. * One drop of blood contains a half a drop of plasma, 5 MILLION Red Blood Cells, 10 Thousand White Blood Cells and 250 Thousand Platelets. * You have thousands of miles of blood vessels in your body. "Bill Nye the Science Guy" claims that you could wrap your blood vessels around the equator TWICE! Get out there and get your heart pumping it's that important fellows. Find something you like and stick with it, you'll feel better about yourself when you're done that day anyways. If time is your excuse, then maybe you should re-evaluate your situation. Your health and lifestyle IS more important then your debts. |
