Your Heart Creates Enough Energy to Travel to the Moon and Back

Over a lifetime, the heart generates an astonishing amount of energy — enough to power a trip to the moon and back!

  • Each day, it produces energy equivalent to running a truck for 20 miles.
  • Across an average lifespan, that’s enough to travel more than 500,000 miles, roughly two round trips to the moon.
  • This makes the human heart one of the most efficient biological engines ever created.
