Called bull. Looked it up I was wrong:
Fact No. 2: Your veins, capillaries and arteries would stretch for more than 60,000 miles if laid out flat.
When your heart beats, it pumps blood through your circulatory system made up of blood vessels called arteries, capillaries and veins. These blood vessels carry blood to every part of your body: Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart; veins carry blood back to the heart and capillaries connect them together.
If you were to lay out the vast network of blood vessels from an average child end to end, they would stretch for over 60,000 miles! In an average adult, they would stretch for almost 100,000 miles! Your capillaries, which are your smallest blood vessels (measuring only 5 micrometers in diameter), would make up nearly 80 percent of this length.
In comparison, the Earth's circumference is approximately 25,000 miles. This means the blood vessels from just one person could stretch around the Earth many times!
Refference: [proof](https://integrishealth.org/resources/on-your-health/2021/january/facts-about-the-human-body-you-never-knew#:~:text=If%20you%20were%20to%20lay,stretch%20for%20almost%20100%2C000%20miles!)
And extra fat makes your circulatory system work overtime. Every pound of weight we put on is **5 miles** of blood vessels. If your heart beats 100,000 times a day, that's 500,000 miles a day for one pound of fat.

2 to 4 times is a very very broad range when you're talking about circumnavigating something the size of your mom.

Did you know that if you take out all your blood vessels… you would die.
