Amazing facts about our body

I always talk about health and how to do this and that but in reallity the key thing to remember is that we do it to maintain the human body. Our body is the most facinating machine that functions without  us knowing; so this weeks post is to inform you about that machine.

Interesting facts about our body;

• The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually the sound of a bursting air bubble in the joints.
• The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 30 feet.
• You get a new stomach lining every 3 to 4 days due to strong digestive acids that corrode the lining in the stomach.
• The largest organ of the body is the skin, it covers around 1.6-1.9 square meters and accounts for 12% of our body weight.
• The roar we hear when we place a shell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins of the ear.
