Fun Facts About the Heart
The famous heart symbol looks nothing like a real heart, yet it has stood for love and friendship for centuries. The real human heart is a strong muscle about the size of a fist. It beats around 100,000 times a day, pumping blood through the whole body. During exercise, it beats faster because your muscles need more oxygen. Hearts are a party favorite because they spread good vibes.
