I wouldn't be wrong in saying that the Human Body is full of surprises. From the presence of around 1,00,000 miles of blood vessels to the fact that we are born with 300 bones. 

Don't be fascinated that quick! In this blog, I will be telling you some of the most enigmatic facts about the human body that will help you make better decisions about your health!

(1) The recommended Sugar intake for females is 24 Grams while it's 36 Grams for Females. 

Just to give you an idea, a can of Pepsi contains 41 Grams of Sugar. I am pretty sure that all those chocolates, waffles, and sugary treats ain't sounding so appealing to you!

(2) 60% of our body is made up of Water. Not just this, 99% of our sweat is Water

However, this in no way means that you can drink your sweat. That 1% salt is enough to make it bitter enough!

(3) Drinking Something Hot Cools Down Your Body

That doesn't sound right, does it? Well, it's true though! Drinking a hot liquid helps produce sweat that cools down your body temperature. That's why it's recommended that you drink hot water when you feel sick.

(4) Being Optimistic increases your chances of living a long life

I won't go into the technical part much. You just need to know that optimists have a 40% lesser chance of suffering a heart attack, and other diseases such as cancer, infection, and stroke. The reason behind this is that an optimistic attitude strengthens your immune system by a lot. So try and be happier every day!

(5) Bananas can make you Happier

 First off, I am talking about actual bananas! Each banana includes 30% of your daily need of Vitamin B6 that produces serotonin, a chemical in your brain known to boost your mood. Well, that's one yummy and nutritious treat! To add to it, bananas are rich in protein and help you build muscles (only if you train your muscles)

(6) Cold Weather is Good for your Health!

You might not know it but cold weather reduces your chances of gaining rashes, allergies, and other conditions. Also, cold weather lowers down the mosquitoes in the air that carry harmful diseases like malaria, Zika virus, etc. 

(7) If you feel tired, exercise

Add another crazy fact to this list. Generally, as we feel tired, we tend to relax and sit down. However, studies show that exercising helps increase the blood and oxygen flow in your body, thus boosting your mood as well as energy levels. 

(8) You were born with 300 Bones

   When you were born, you had 300 bones, most of them in your hands and feet. However, as you grow up, only 206 remain. Over time, these bones fuse together and thus result in the number 206! Also, did you know that your jaw muscle is the strongest in your body! You can close your teeth with a force of around 200 pounds or 90 Kilograms. 

The amazing facts mentioned above have been sourced from various sources. These include Youtube Channel What if, and blogs by Spectrumhealthcare and OSGPC. However, don't worry! The facts might be inspired, but the words are my own! So please don't spam Plagiarism in the comments! xD
