Tomorrow I will undergo two tests that have to do with the heart, just to rule out some stuff (I'm sure it's nothing serious). In keeping with this hearty theme, I did a little research on the human heart and got some interesting tidbits.- The heart is the most important muscle in the human body! We need to exercise it at least 15-20 minutes each day to make it strong. (Hmmm...most people are focused on working out their leg and arm muscles, but not their heart. Tsk tsk!)
- The heart is about the size of our fist. (Does it follow that if one has a big heart, one also has a big fist and vice versa? Heehee)
- An adult heart pumps 7,500 liters of blood daily. It takes 20 seconds to pump blood to every cell in our body. (How infinitely bloody.)
- The heart uses a network of tubes to get blood throughout the body. These tubes are called blood vessels. If we lined up all the blood vessels in our body end to end, they would wrap around the earth twice! (Whoa. So many things inside my body!)
- The heart beats on the average 70 times per minute. That's 4,200 beats per hour, approximately 100,000 beats per day! (So this is what the expression "My heart beats for you" means -- all 100,000 of them each day! Woohoo!)
- Can one really get sick or die of a broken heart?
- Where do broken hearts go?
- How can one have a healthy heart and still be heartless?
Happy hearts' day every single day! :)

did you know that the giraffe has the biggest heart among land animals, so that blood can be supplied all the way up to its head? and that it has special valves to prevent blood rushing to its head when it lowers its head (for example when it drinks)

It was a toss-up between this and trivia about the heart of an African bullfrog. I opted for the former.
