Interesting Facts About the Human Body

Body functions and body parts are much more interesting and complex than they are thought to be.

Tears – Tears are not only made up of water. They also have proteins, and antibodies, and other antiviral substances. Drinking a glass of tears is much healthier than drinking a glass of water. In the average person’s life each eye will produce 70 gallons of tears.

Snoring – Snoring usually occurs due to being overweight, smoking, and consuming alcohol. Having allergies can also cause snoring. Snoring can be soft (50 dB – the sound level of a quiet street) or loud (100 dB – the sound level of a diesel truck). For 70 percent of snorers, they have a hereditary link which may be the cause or contribute to their snoring. Children who snore may have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Eyes – Babies are color blind when they are born. This lasts a few months before their eyes begin to adjust to color. Our eyebrows are there to prevent sweat from entering our eyes. Human eyes can tell apart 500 different shades of the gray.

The Mouth – The tongue is the strongest and most flexible muscle in the body. Everyone has their own one of a kind tongue print (just like fingerprints). A human’s mouth has more bacteria than a dog’s mouth. The tongue heals faster than any other part of the body. In a person’s average lifetime their mouth produces enough saliva to fill two swimming pools (25, 000 quarts).

Sneezing – Sneezes can travel up to 100 km per hour. Sneezes can be caused by many different things. Dust, allergies, mold, smoke, and sexual arousal are said to cause sneezing. In other countries sneezes are thought to be a sign of healthiness (in India), or thought to mean that someone is being talked about behind their back (Japan).

5 ways to avoid the common cold

Nobody want's to catch the cold - it's one of those nasty uncomfortable common ailments. Often it's not severe enough to hold you back from work or school, but it's just bad enough to exhaust you and cause you discomfort while you are going about your day. Decongestants and cold medications can only do so much. I personally wish there was a vaccine or cure for the common cold because I usually get about 4 colds a year - sadly there is not. This is the best that I can do for you -Here are 5 tips that will lower your chances of contracting a common cold.

Wash your hands!

The most common way that the cold is contracted is by picking it up with your hands - It's actually harder to pick up a cold by kissing or sharing a drink with someone than it is to pick it up with your hands.

Vitamin D & C

Everyone says that vitamin C is crucial to cold prevention, but even more important is vitamin D. The more rays you soak up in the summer, the stronger your immune system will be throughout fall and winter. Strong immune system = immunity to colds. Remember to eat healthy to satisfy your immune system and exercise to keep your body strong. Take vitamin C and vitamin D supplements to boost your immune system on the side.

Don't Smoke

Apparently those who are exposed to cigarette smoke have a higher chance of contracting a cold than non-smokers. Likewise smokers who have a cold usually have more severe cold symptoms than a non-smoker. Bottom line - quit smoking.

Don't touch

If you are exposed to bacteria or happen to shake hands with a sick person don't touch your eyes nose or mouth before washing your hands because a virus usually enter through these places. That brings me back to point one - wash your hands!

Relax

Stress is the underlying cause of almost all illnesses. If you are stressed out, your immune system will be stressed out too. It's not just your brain, but all of your other organs that are affected by stress - So take a deep breath and do things that make you feel good. Read a book, take a bath, or go for a run!
