With the average heart rate of 72 beats per minute the heart will pump about 5 litres per ventricle, or about 10 litres total per minute. This is called the cardiac output. In a trained athlete the total cardiac output is about 20 litres. If we multiply the normal, non-athlete output by the average age of 70 years, we see that the cardiac output of the average human heart over a life time would be about 1 million litres, or about 250,000 gallons(US)

Your body has about 5.6 liters (6 quarts) of blood. This 5.6 liters of blood circulates through the body three times every minute. In one day, the blood travels a total of 19,000 km (12,000 miles)--that's four times the distance across the US from coast to coast.

A normal heart pumps about 4.5 litres of blood every minute, EVERY single minute of your life! But did you also know that the poor heart (Your pump) has to pump harder when you become overweight? Each additional Kilo beyond your 'ideal weight' means 9 MILES of extra arteries and veins!! Isn't it amazing, how much we overload the poor fellow??
