Surprising Heart Facts:

• The most powerful force from the heart would be enough to shoot water six feet into the air.  The amount of force that is actually needed to move the blood through the entire length of the body’s blood vessels would lift a one hundred pound weight one mile high. 

• Approximately two gallons of blood move through 60,000 miles of vessels in each of our bodies.

• Contrary to popular belief, the heart does not pump blood through the whole body; the whole body, including the blood, pumps and moves the blood through the whole body, in unison.

• Between 60 to 65 % of heart cells are neural cells (brain cells).

• The heart and the brain are inextricably linked and the heart possesses its own nervous system and could be considered as a specialized part of the brain.

• The heart has its own stored memories and processes meaning within a variety of emotional experiences.

• The heart is vastly more than a muscular pump. It is one of the most powerful electromagnetic generators and receivers known.  It is, in fact, a highly sensitive organ of perception and communication.

• The oscillating electromagnetic waves of the heart emit waves 5000 times more powerful than the brain.  This is measureable by modern instruments up to 10 feet from the body.
