So how many times does your heart beat over your life?

If you were to guess how many times your heart beats over your life, what would you guess (without looking below)?

A= 1-2 Million
B= 1-2 Billion
C= 2-3 Billion
D= 10 + Billion
E= None of the above

What do you think?

Well an everage heart beats about 70 beats per minute. The average person lives about 75 years. Based on those assumptions, here are some interesting facts:

Facts your heart beats

Avg beat/min 70 Avg life 75

Total Beats per minute = 70
Total Beats per hour = 4,200
Total Beats per day = 100,800
Total Beats per week = 705,600
Total Beats per month = 3,074,400
Total Beats per year = 36,892,800
Total Beats per 10 years = 368,928,000
Total Beats per avg. life = 2,766,960,000

So the answer is of course ‘C’ between 2-3 Billion beats. Just thought you would like to know.
