Did you know that 1.5 million blood cells are produced and destroyed
in the human body every second?

Or how about that there are 60,000 miles or blood vessels in your
body?

Did you know that blood makes up about 7% of the bodies weight?
How about the fact that there are about 1 billon red blood cells in
2-3 drops of blood.
