Going on a first date this Valentines Day? Worried about those awkward silences? Rest assured lovers because here are some fun-filled heart facts to dazzle your crush with...*Women's hearts beat faster than men's.
*Three years after a person quits smoking, their chance of having a heart attack is the same as someone who has never smoked.
*A kitchen tap would need to be turned on all the way for 45 years to equal the amount of blood the heart pumps in a lifetime.
*Your system of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) are long enough to go around the world twice.
*When attempting to locate their heart, most people place their hand on their left chest. Your heart is actually located in the center of your chest between your lungs. The bottom of the heart is tipped to the left which is why the left lung is slightly smaller than the right.
*On average the heart beats 72 times a minute, 100,000 times a day, 3.6 million times a year and more than 2.5 billion times during a lifetime.
*An adults heart is about the size of two clenched fists.
*Blood is about 78% water.
*Every day the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back.
You can thank me later...
