The total length of blood vessels in an average adult human body is estimated to be:
~100,000 kilometers (~60,000 miles)
This includes:
• Arteries and arterioles: Carry blood away from the heart
• Veins and venules: Carry blood back to the heart
• Capillaries: Microscopic vessels that connect arteries and veins, facilitating nutrient and gas exchange
After I read this it really struck home the need for getting some good movement in on a daily basis and getting that heart rate up
It also really drives home the point that taking care of the cardiovascular system is probably job #1 in longevity (and why people generally still die of heart disease most frequently, of all mortality causes)…
Definitely study this thread and do all you can to keep your cardio system in good health: Cardiovascular Health
“After I read this it really struck home the need for getting some good movement in on a daily basis and getting that heart rate up”
So, how many km length would make you not exercise?
Fortunately for me that would not be an option , but do hope the 100k would inspire you to increase your output
well, chat GPT tells me my bum has much more volume than my pineal gland, so I gonna not buy melatonine and have more money for bum massages. I am so glad I found this scientific forum here.
