YOUR BODY'S CALLING

We have how many body parts?? Working 24/7 everyday ALL day! Do you know all the crazy facts?? I came across this and HAD to share!

*Eye's- did you know we blink 5,000,000 times a year? 23 min of everyday is spent blinking! We also produce a half gallon of tears, enough to fill a kettle. No wonder why I cry so much haha

*Nose- Your nose hairs grow an inch a year, adding up to six feet over the course of your life. SICK!

*Lungs- An adult breathes two gallons of air a minute. In the course of a year we could fill up two hot air balloons! We are full of hot air! :)

*Stomach- We eat 2,000 calories a day on average, and our metabolism peaks during adolescence, falling after that! (I KNOW!) Most people put on 5 pounds every decade after age 20! If you spent all day sleeping you would still use up 1,320 calories, and 4,800 if you spent all day and night walking. Food is digested within 24 hours.

*Hands- When you touch something, impulses travel through the nerve network to the brain at a rate of 350 ft per second. Our fingertips grow three and a half centimeters a yr!

*Skin- The average person sweats the equivalent of 606 cans of cola a yr, and if you exercise you lose a teaspoon of salt each session.

*Hair- Each day we shed 200 hairs (for the record I think I shed WAY more!) adding up to 73,000 a yr. Enough to make Dolly Parton a new wig lol We have more then 100,000 hairs. They grow 5 inches a yr and most last 2 yrs before falling out. Garey hair starts developing around age 34, and by the time most of us are 50, half our hair is grey.

*Brain- We store a million items in the brain, everything from phone numbers to memories and feelings. The average person has more than 100 billion brain cells at age 35, but from then on we lose them at a rate of 7,000 a day or 2,555,000 a year! Thats crazy, this explains so much! haha

*Mouth- The mouth is the first feature to form in an unborn baby, so we learn taste and texture before w ehave even swallowed food. As adults we spend the equivalent of 10 days a yr eating (ON AVERAGE.,.some more haha), and 55 days talking! (now for me thats 55 X100 more haha)

*Feet- The average person takes 9,000 steps a day- 3,285,000 a year- or 1,456 miles! (who knew life is a marathon!) In a life time that means we walk 115,000 miles...more than four times around the world! So, it's no wonder feet sweat. The 250,000 glands in a pair of feet excrete half a pint of moisture every day!

Did you know this much about your body!?!?! I DIDN'T! Share with friends, family or the co-workers right there next to you! It'll make some fun office trivia haha
