Heart muscle cells can take approximately 20 years to completely renew themselves. Never Cells that cannot repair â Itâs unfortunate for many, but old age can take itâs toll on the eyes and brain.
Todayâs question: Does your body really replace itself every 7 years? The short answer is âno,â but donât worry: This isnât a case of chicanerous researchers pulling the wool of shoddy science over your eyes. Your body mostly replaces itself every 7 to 15 years. Some bits are never replaced. Others, like the lining of your stomach and intestines, are renewed much faster. Due to constant wear and tear from the process of digestion, these cells have an average lifespan of just 5 days! Yes, the organs that work the hardest have the fastest changeover.
