People with higher number of moles tend to live longer than people with lesser number of moles. I never knew that. But for sure, under uncontrollable circumstances a person with many moles can die in an accident and will not live any longer. Anyway, I have more than ten moles on my body. Is that enough for me to live long?
The colder the room you sleep in, the better the chances are that you’ll have a bad dream. How many times have I experienced a bad dream? Only a few. I love covering myself with blanket every time I sleep even when the climate is hot. I'm just used to it. Now I have one more reason sleeping in a warm bed.
The average person who stops smoking requires one hour less sleep a night. It's good I stopped smoking already. I stopped smoking when I tried exactly one cigarette already. That was when I was still in grade school. Grade four I think :)
Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day. Now I have more reason to share my jokes to the people around me - serious jokes. I mean something I really think will surely make them laugh.
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. I'm just wondering if we can collect those heaps of hair so we can create commercial metal sheets.
The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 30 feet! My poor heart. Now I will take care of it more so it will keep to circulate my blood along my veins and capillaries.
The brain is much more active at night than during the day. Now I'm wondering what is my brain thinking when I am asleep.
The brain itself cannot feel pain. While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. So the victim did not feel any pain when Hannibal took part of his brain and ate of it.
The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades. Hydrochloric acid, the type found in your stomach, is not only good at dissolving the pizza you had for dinner but can also eat through many types of metal. Can I now eat my metal spoon?
Earwax production is necessary for good ear health. While many people find earwax to be disgusting, it’s actually a very important part of your ear’s defense system. It protects the delicate inner ear from bacteria, fungus, dirt and even insects. It also cleans and lubricates the ear canal.Babies are always born with blue eyes. The melanin in a newborn’s eyes often needs time after birth to be fully deposited or to be darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light, later revealing the baby’s true eye color. I never knew I was blue-eyed when I was that young...
Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.
After eating too much, your hearing is less sharp. What did you just say?
Women are born better smellers than men and remain better smellers over life. This implies that Eugene Domingo is better in smelling compared David Archuleta and David Cook in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbK_6eIzbOo
Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents. That's good since I have read that smell is a good way for us to remember things. We remember things easier through our sense of smell.
By the age of 60, most people will have lost about half their taste buds. Perhaps you shouldn’t trust your grandma’s cooking as much as you do. Where did that other half of their taste buds go?
Your eyes are always the same size from birth but your nose and ears never stop growing.
Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest. A ten year study in Scotland found that 20% more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week. Researchers theorize that it’s a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase.
Provided there is water, the average human could survive a month to two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors. Wanna try?
Over 90% of diseases are caused or complicated by stress.
We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. This means I am 1 cm shorter while typing this blog entry haha....
Tears and mucus contain an enzyme (lysozyme) that breaks down the cell wall of many bacteria. It is part of God's design for sure :)
The width of your armspan stretched out is the length of your whole body. While not exact down to the last millimeter, your armspan is a pretty good estimator of your height.
Humans are the only animals to produce emotional tears. Should we cry for that?
Women burn fat more slowly than men, by a rate of about 50 calories a day. Most men have a much easier time burning fat than women. Women, because of their reproductive role, generally require a higher basic body fat proportion than men, and as a result their bodies don’t get rid of excess fat at the same rate as men. And I guess it is because men have more of the hormone testosterone and this makes them more active than women.
Koalas and primates are the only animals with unique fingerprints. Humans, apes and koalas are unique in the animal kingdom due to the tiny prints on the fingers of their hands.
