Humans Body Facts

This is weird but true!

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot. (go ahead no one will see you) While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

Can you feel the pulse in your wrist? For humans the normal pulse is 70 heartbeats per minute. Elephants have a slower pulse of 27 and for a canary it is 1000!

If all the blood vessels in your body were laid end to end, they would reach about 60,000 miles.

In one day your heart beats 100,000 times.

Half your body’s red blood cells are replaced every seven days.

Coughing can cause air to move through your windpipe faster than the speed of sound — over a thousand feet per second!

It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.

That dust on rugs and your furniture is not only dirt. It’s mostly made of dead skin cells. Everybody loses millions of skin cells every day which fall on the floor and get kicked up to land on all the surfaces in a room. You could say, "That’s me all over."

It takes food seven seconds to go from the mouth to the stomach via the esophagus.

The width of your armspan stretched out is the length of your whole body.

The average human dream lasts only 2 to 3 seconds.

Your tongue has 3,000 taste buds.

Your thigh bone is stronger than concrete.

Your fingernails grow almost four times as fast as your toenails.

You blink your eyes over 10,000,000 a year.
