The human heart beats 100,000 times a day

Over the course of a day, your heart beats an average of 100,000 times! In one year, the organ hits 35 million times, which adds up to an average of 3 billion beats over a lifetime. According to Arkansas Heart Hospital, the heart is able to pump 5 liters of blood throughout the body every 20 seconds; therefore, the heart makes the blood in the body circulate through the body about three times a minute.
