So these also can increase the rate of destruction of these red blood cells. So let's focus, let's discuss on how and where these red blood cells are actually broken down and what recycled components are formed as a result. Now, red blood cells can generally live up to 120 days before they are damaged to the point where they must be recycled in our spleen, in our liver, or in our lymph nodes. And the rate at which the average rate at which our body breaks down recycles these red blood cells is about 2.5 million red blood cells every single second. So every single second, our liver, our spleen and the lymph nodes break down and recycle 2.5 million red blood cells. Now, this actually seems like a lot, but it's not.
