February is Heart Health Month! Your heart is the most critical, hardest working muscle in the body. Here are a few facts about your heart that might inspire you to give it a little more TLC every day.

1. Your adult heart beats about 100,000 times each day. Do the math and that’s at least one beat every second!

2. Age and fitness level affect your heart rate. As we age or get fitter, our heart rate gets slower.

3. Want to know how big your heart is? Make a fist! Generally speaking, a healthy heart is about the size of a person’s fist.

4. Your activity level is the greatest potential risk factor

for heart disease. People with low fitness levels have

double the risk of heart disease as their more active

counterparts. 5. Your heart is one giant pump. Every minute your heart pumps about five quarts

of blood through a system of blood vessels that’s over 60,000 miles long. That translates to about 2,000 gallons of blood every day!
