Although many people believe that they know absolutely everything about their body, there are actually some curious facts that many are unaware of and scientific advances have discovered.
1- The human body contains more than 96,500 kilometers of blood vessels, something that would be enough to wrap the Earth twice. In addition, for each new kilogram of fat or muscle, the body creates 10 kilometers of new blood vessels.
2- Within the human navel there are thousands of bacteria that form an ecosystem equivalent to the size of the rainforest.
3- An adult person has about 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms. For comparison, in our galaxy there are only about 300,000 million stars.
4- The atoms that make up our body today are the same atoms that formed during the Big Bang more than 13.7 billion years ago.
5- Human bones are as strong as granite. A piece of bone the size of a matchbox can support up to nine tons of weight.
6- Human DNA is 50% identical to banana DNA.
7- Every second the human body produces 25 million new cells.
8- The phenomenon called 'synesthesia' means interference between different senses. That is, some people can taste or see sounds and hear colors.
9- The connections between neurons in our brain resemble the structure of the universe.
