Answer

Hi Janne,

you can calculate approximately how often your heart beats in a human life (and you will be surprised by the result!!)

Your heart beats about 70 times per minute

– per hour (60 minutes) so 60 x 70 times

– per day (24 hours) 24 x 60 x 70 times

– per year (365 days) 365 x 24 x 60 x 70 times

– in a lifetime (80 years hopefully) 80 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 70 = 2 943 360 000

or so almost 3 billion times (3 thousand million times !!!)

You better take good care of it: do a lot of sports, don’t start smoking, eat healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables and so on

How many times does your heart beat in your whole life?
