Your Miraculous Body
by Lonny Brown, Ph.D. |
|
|
Do you take your body for granted? Actually, if you can, that's a healthy sign that it's working just fine, and not making any uncomfortable demands on your awareness.
Your body has evolved according to an ingenious three million year-old blueprint to function automatically and constantly under a variety of circumstances, with a minimum of conscious attention. It efficiently assimilates food and eliminates waste, deftly cools and warms itself as conditions require, and silently monitors and repairs millions of components, even as you obliviously go about your mundane affairs. How miraculous that all this can happen automatically, without the slightest effort on your part!
But sometimes ignoring our bodies can lead to neglect and abuse, which can cause illness and disease. Perhaps a little more appreciation would lead to better self-care, or help us heal when things do go out of order. Why not take a few moments of your busy day, and read the following amazing facts about that marvel of functional design, your body. Your renewed appreciation might motivate you to make better choices on behalf of your faithful vehicle, and help insure many more years of productive, trouble-free service.
* My body is made up of approximately 100 trillion individual cells.
* My brain has ten billion nerve cells, and over a trillion different electrical circuits. The number of possible interconnections is ten with eight hundred zeros after it. This is eight times the number of atoms in the universe! My brain, many times more complex than the most advanced computers, operates on the amount of electrical power that would light a 10-watt bulb.
· Just a 3/4-inch square patch of skin, only one-twentieth of an inch thick contains: 9 feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors, 300 sweat glands, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors, and 75 pressure sensors.
* The combined pulling strength of all the muscles in my body equals 25 tons.
* My body secretes more than seven quarts of digestive juices a day.
* My ears can discriminate among more than 300,000 tones. Factory noise is one million times as loud as a soft whisper.
* My eyes can distinguish nearly eight million differences in colors.
* The surface area of my lungs is 1,000 square feet - 20 times greater than the surface area of my skin.
* My blood serum is almost identical in chemical content to sea water.
* All the blood vessels in my circulatory system total nearly 70 thousand miles in length.
* My heart pumps 2,000 gallons of blood every day, and will beat about 2.5 billion times in my lifetime.
* My digestive tract is 30 feet long.
* One cubic inch of my bone can withstand a two-ton force.
* There are more bacteria living on and in my body than there are people on the earth. Most of them are benign and even beneficial: Intestinal bacteria help me digest my food.
