AMAZING HUMAN FACTS
o
Among the top ten causes of death in the US
are toxic reactions to correctly prescribed drugs, which make more than two
million Americans seriously ill every year, and kill 106,000 more. Incorrectly prescribed drugs account for another
90,000 deaths each year!
o
A
person can live without food for about 40 days, but only about 7 days
without water, 6-8 minutes without air, and literally an instant without Life
Force.
o
Stomach
lining cells produce mucus, pepsin, HCl to a pH of 2.0 (100,000X the acidity of
your bloodstream)
o
More
than half the bones in the human body are in the hands and feet.
o
The
highest recorded "sneeze speed" is 165 km (102 miles) per hour.
o
The
heart beats about 3 billion times in the average person's lifetime.
o
A newborn
baby has 350 bones, but a fully-grown adult has only 206.
o
Blood
is a liquid organ.
o
Everyone
is colorblind at birth.
o
Our
lungs inhale over two million liters of air every day, without even
thinking. The surface area of the lungs is approximately the same size as
a tennis court.
o
Food
will get to your stomach even if you're standing on your head.
o
Skin is
the largest body organ.
o
Your brain operates on the same amount of power as a
10 watt light bulb about
200 kilocalories per day,.. So the cartoon image of a light bulb over your head
when a great thought occurs isn't too far off the mark.
o
Every 7
years your body completely replaces itself. 25,000,000 of your cells died
while you read this sentence. It's okay though, your body made more than 300
billion new ones today. The cells that make up your body are dying and being
replaced all the time. This happens so often that about every 7 years you have
a completely new body of cells. While this is true for most cells, such as the
cells lining the stomach, some of the most important cells in your body (those
of your bones, your brain, and your heart) don't regenerate much at all, so
treat them with care.
o
Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as
250 miles per hour The speed
of nerve impulses varies enormously but the fastest travel at about 250 mph.
That's as fast as a Formula 1 racing car! However this demand for speed uses a
lot of energy and is found only in neurons that need to transfer information
urgently. For example, if you burn your fingers it is important that your brain
gets the message to withdraw your hand very quickly.
o
There are more cells in your body than stars in the
galaxy Your
entire body is made up of around 75 trillion cells. Each one of your cells is
like a small city with thousands of different types of complex molecules
interacting with each other to keep you alive and conscious. When you compare
this to the 400 billion stars in our galaxy, you can understand just how magical
your existence really is. So the next time you are feeling down or
insignificant, simply remember, you are made of 75,000,000,000,000 cells, and
that's far from “insignificant”!
o There are 100,000 miles of blood
vessels in an adult human body If you took all of the blood vessels
out of an average child, and laid them out in one line, the line would be over
60,000 miles long. An adult's vessels would be closer to 100,000 miles long!
That means an adult's blood vessels could go around the circumference of the
world more than 4 times!
o
The cells in your body react
to your thoughts Ancient
Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said: “Watch your thoughts; they become
words. Watch your words; they become actions”. Your mind is a powerful machine
and controls every function of the body. But the good news is you
have the power to control your mind. Experiencing positive thoughts leads to more positive thoughts
and an even broader view of everything around us. For
example, positive thoughts can strengthen your immune system while negative
thoughts can bring it down.
o
You are made
of stardust As Carl Sagan used to say, we are made of “star
stuff”. It sounds like a line from a poem, but there is some concrete science
behind this statement: almost every element on Earth was formed at the heart of
a star. The carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms in our bodies, as well as atoms
of all other heavy elements, were created in previous generations of stars over
4.5 billion years ago. So next time you're out gazing at stars twinkling in the
night sky, remember, we are all made of star dust, we are all one!
o
The average adult is made up of 100 trillion
cells.
o
There
are more bacteria in your body than the number of cells in your body. There are an estimated 75 to 100 trillion
cells in the human body.
o
Our
brain is more complex than the most powerful computer and has over 100 billion
nerve cells.
o
Capillaries
are so small that red blood cells can only travel through them in single file.
o
The
cornea, the outermost layer of the eye, is the only living tissue in the human
body without blood vessels? It receives nutrients from tears and from the
aqueous humor.
o
Each
cell in your body has an estimated 6 to 8 feet of DNA.
o
Research
has shown that guilt damages your immune system by lowering your immunoglobulin
levels.
o
The
total length of your circulatory system stretches an amazing 60,000 miles. That
is more than twice the distance around the Earth.
o
In one
square inch of skin there are four yards of nerve fibers, 600 pain sensors, 1300 nerve cells, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors, 75 pressure sensors, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and 3 yards of blood
vessels.
o
Except for
your brain cells, 50,000,000 of the cells in your body will have died and been
replaced with others, all while you have been reading this sentence.
o
Your
heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 40,000,000 times a
year. In one hour the heart works hard enough to produce enough energy to
raise almost one ton of weight one yard from the ground.
o
The
liver is often called the body's chemical factory. Scientists have
counted over 500 liver functions.
o
The
central nervous system is connected to every part of the body by 43 pairs of
nerves. Twelve pairs go to and from the brain, with 31 pairs going from
the spinal cord. There are nearly 45 miles of nerves running through our
bodies.
o
Messages
travel along the nerves as electrical impulses. They travel at speeds up
to 248 mile per hour.
o
The
central nervous system is the master system of all functions within your body
and has a reciprocal Neurophysiologic relationship with the Acupressure
Meridian and Chakra (Emotional Energy Centers) Systems of energetic function
within your being. Subluxations in your spine, cranium and extremities,
interfere with the flow of nerve impulse energy information and acupressure
meridian energy within your body.
o
The
aorta, the largest artery in the body, is almost the diameter of a garden
hose. Capillaries, on the other hand, are so small that it takes ten of
them to equal the thickness of a human hair.
o
Your
body has about 5.6 liters (6 quarts) of blood. This 5.6 liters of blood
circulates through the body three times every minute. In one day, the blood
travels a total of 19,000 km (12,000 miles) - that's four times the distance
across the US from coast to coast.
o
Our
eyes can distinguish up to one million color surfaces and take in more
information than the largest telescope known to man.
o
Our
hearing is so sensitive it can distinguish between hundreds of thousands of
different sounds.
o
Our
sense of touch is more refined than any device ever created.
o
We give
birth to 100 billion red blood cells every day and about two million red blood cells
every second.
o
When we
touch something, we send a message to our brain at 124 mph.
o
We have
over 600 muscles.
o
We
exercise at least 30 muscles when we smile.
o
We are
about 70 percent water.
o
We make
one liter of saliva a day.
o
Our
nose is our personal air-conditioning system: it warms cold air, cools hot air
and filters impurities.
o
We have
copper, zinc, cobalt, calcium, manganese, phosphates, nickel and silicon in our
bodies.
o
If you
yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound
energy to heat one cup of coffee.
o
During
the first month of life, the number of connections or synapses, dramatically
increases from 50 trillion to 1 quadrillion. If an infant's body grew at
a comparable rate, his weight would increase from 8.5 pounds at birth to 170
pounds at one month old.
o
The average life of a taste bud is 10 days.
o
Our
bodies contain enough water to fill a ten-gallon tank.
o
We have
enough carbon to manufacture 900 pencils.
o
Fingernails
are one of the human body's strongest components. They contain keratin,
which is also found in rhino horns, which refuses to erode after death.
o
Babies
are not fully naked in the womb. In fact, their entire bodies are usually
covered in a thin layer of dark hair by the end of the fifth month of
pregnancy, which disappear when the baby is born.
o
People
blink once every four seconds. That's because the eyelashes act as
windscreen wipers, keeping dust and grime from getting into the eye itself.
o
Humans
are one of the only mammals who are unable to 'turn' their ears in order to
hear approaching predators.
that the body decides whether the baby will be a boy or girl through
dominant hormones that emerge.
o
Every
tongue has its own individual print, which is unique to each person.
o
The big
toe is actually one of the most important elements within the body, as it
balances the skeleton and enables the owner to move forward when walking
without it, we would simply fall over.
o
If the
population of China walked by you in single file the line would never end
because of the rate of reproduction.
o
If a
person has two-thirds of their liver removed from trauma or surgery, it will
grow back to its original size in four weeks time.
o
On
average, you breathe 23,000 times a day. You take about 600 million
breaths during your lifetime.
o
The
odds of being struck by lightning are about 600,000 to one.
o
It is
normal to lose 100 hairs per day from the scalp.
o
We take
about 600 million breaths during our lifetime.
o
There
is more bacteria in your mouth than the human population of US and Canada
combined.
o
There are
more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been
tested, and half caused cancer in rats.
o
The
average human body contains enough: Sulfur to kill all fleas on an average dog,
Carbon to make 900 pencils, Potassium to fire a toy cannon, Fat to make 7 bars
of soap, Phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads, and enough water to fill a ten
gallon tank.
o
If you
could save all the times your eyes blink in one lifetime and use them all at
once you would see blackness for 1.2 years!
o
The
average American sees or hears 560 advertisements a day.
o A CDC report
reveals painkillers are responsible for 4x as many deaths as heroin and cocaine
combined
Our
Bodies & Immune System are a MAJOR Miracle !
STOP
Chemically Abusing it with Packaged & Fast Foods
Beware
Doctors giving your body dangerous un-natural Drugs
