These are 9 amazing facts about the human body:
1) Did you know, the only organ that will grow back after being donated is the liver. The liver is the only organ in your body that can regrow after parts of it have been removed or damaged. In fact, your liver can grow back to its full size in just a matter of months.
2) Did you know, our nails consist of a protein called keratin and it is also actually a dead cell that comes out through the fingers. Nails start growing under your skin. As new cells grow, they push old ones through your skin. The part you can see consists of dead cells. That is why it does not hurt when it got cut. In addition, fingernails can grow longer faster than toenails.
3) Did you know, that earwax is not excrement but it is actually sweating. The purpose of this earwax is to protect us from bacteria, dust, dirt, and water. You do not have to dig it for removal because it will come out on its own. Unless there is too much until you can see it from the outside of the ear. If that the case, try to clean it up a bit.
4) Did you know, women have more fat than men in their bodies. This is because men burn fat faster than women. Men tend to have more lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories than body fat, even during rest.
5) Did you know, our muscles get tired when we work continuously. The only muscle that never gets tired is the heart. When we walk, our hearts still running. Even when we stop, our heart still keeps running. Or else, we would have died if our hearts are not functioning.
6) Did you know, our brains are perfectly formed at the average age of 26 years old. Don’t be surprised if we used to do so many ridiculous things when we were young. That is just how our life works.
7) Did you know, bacteria on a phone screen are actually even more than bacteria on a toilet bowl. Scientists have found that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats. It also follows that most of the organisms found on phones are not pathogens that will make you sick.
8) Did you know, an estimated 10% of the world’s population is left-handed. Genetics is the main factor that a person can be left-handed. Researchers have developed a mathematical model to show that the percentage of left-handed people was a result of human evolution and specifically is a balance of cooperation and competition.
9) If our house has an air filter, then in our body there is also a filter called the kidney. This filter is so powerful. Because it can filter out things that have no nutrients that we eat. If you want to use this filter for a long time, do not always take salt, sugar, and processed foods.
