Interesting facts about our incredible bodies:

The human body is so interesting and complex. We are still learning new things about it.

Below is a list of interesting facts:

  1. Humans completely replace their outer skin every month
  2. In an average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator
  3. The jaw is the most commonly used joint in the human body
  4. Honey is the only food that does not spoil
  5. The strongest muscle in the human body (proportional to its size) is the tongue
  6. When you gain or lose weight, your fat cells donโ€™t disappear โ€” they simply change in size.
  7. Paper cuts are more painful than regular cuts because such a wound almost never bleeds; instead, nerve endings stay open to the air which irritates them.
