About how many cells does the human body replace each second?
3.8 million
Background
Every second about 3.8 million cells in the body die and are replaced by new ones. Skin, gut and blood cells refresh especially fast. Other cells, like in the brain, stay for almost a whole life. So today you are already a little newer than yesterday.
