Beats and Breaths Definition This FREE Beats and Breaths Calculator is designed to give an estimated number of heartbeats and breaths taken during your lifetime based on your birth date. It is based on average breaths and heartbeats for the individual rather than specifics and does not provide an exact number for an individual. Try this health calculator today Using the Calculator Anyone who is curious about the estimated average number of heartbeats and breaths taken during their lifetime might use the calculator to avoid confusion during the calculation. When using the calculator, type in the full date in number form. For example, someone whose birthday was January 1, 1990 would type in 01/01/1990 in the calculator. Alternatively, put in the birth date on the provided calendar. Click on submit and the results become immediately visible. How the Calculator Finds the Answer The heartbeat calculation is based on the average number of beats for most humans. In general, the heart rate for a person who is not exercising is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. When the body is at rest, the average individual has a heart rate around 72 beats per minute. When calculated throughout the day, the average individual has around 100,000 heart beats for every 24 hours. This calculator takes the average and determines the estimated heart beats since birth based on the date of birth and the current date. The number of breaths during a lifetime is more complicated because average number of breaths per minute changes throughout the lifetime. The average number of breaths a healthy adult breathes while not exercising is usually between 8 and 16 breaths per minute. While the calculation might seem straightforward, the average number of breaths a healthy infant breathes can reach up to 44 breaths per minute. This means that throughout life, the number of breaths per minute changes. Factors that Change Heartbeat and Breathing The number of times a heart beats at any given time and the number of breaths taken during that time differ based on various factors. The factors can speed up both the number of beats per minute and the number of breaths per minute.
Though the estimated number of heartbeats or breaths taken during a lifetime might seem irrelevant, ranges that are higher or lower than the averages are signs of serious problems. For example, someone whose heartbeat is either extremely slow or extremely fast might faint, feel dizzy or become short of breath. Breathing either slower or faster than average rates might result in reduced oxygen to the body, such as occurs during hyperventilation. Use this online calculator for better health!
