It is no secret that the human body is an extremely complex ‘system’ which still leave doctors baffled almost every day of their lives. Here’s a few interesting facts:
- Frequent dreams are correlated with having a higher IQ.
- There are more than 300,000,000 capillaries in your lungs and if they were stretched out tip to tip they would reach approximately the distance between Atlanta and LA.
- In just 30 minutes, your body can produce enough heat to boil half a gallon of water.
- Your skin is the largest organ in your body; if an adult male’s skin were to be stretched out, it would cover 20 square feet.
- It’s nearly impossible to tickle yourself.
- Humans are extremely visual; 90 percent of the information we gather from our surroundings is from our eyesight.
- Everyone has a completely unique smell (except for twins).
- Your brain uses about 20 percent of your oxygen and caloric intake.
- The muscles that control your eyes contract about 100,000 times a day (that’s the equivalent of giving your legs a workout by walking 50 miles).
- It can take your finger and toenails six moths to grow an entirely new nail (from base to tip).
- Most westerners consume 50 tons of food and 50,000 liters of liquid in their lifetime
- Most babies are born with blue eyes; exposure to UV light brings out their true color
