10 amazing facts about Human Body

Our body is amazing. It has lots of mysteries and capabilities even beyond the knowledge of scientists and doctors. In this post, we are going to list 10 amazing facts about human body.





10: Every atom of our body is said to be billions of years old and our body is 70 percent water.


9: By the age of 18, the human brains stop growing. It even begins to lose more than 1,000 brain cells after such age. Your brain comprises only 2 percent of your body weight but uses up to 20 percent of your body’s energy. Your brain never takes a break even when you are sleeping; the brain is busy working to replenish the brain processes needed to function normally while awake.


8: An average human produces 10,000 gallons of saliva in a lifetime.


7: It is impossible to sneeze without blinking your eyes. The highest recorded speed of a human sneeze is 165 kilometer per hour.


6: The human body sheds about 40 pounds of skin in a lifetime. Our skin produces antibacterial chemicals to keep germs at a bay. It also produces antimicrobial peptides that protect the body from infection.


5: You can’t swallow and breathe at the same time; however babies can do this but until they are about nine months.


4: Yawning helps you cool your brain. It is an involuntary behavior. When you yawn, the influx of cool air may ventilate your sinuses and facilitate brain cooling.

1: Each person has a unique tongue print just like the fingerprints.


Hope you have liked the post. We’ll try to gather and post more hidden and unbelievable facts about human body in our next posts.

Aurora – The Nature’s Light Show......!!!!!!!!!!

The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are actually the collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. The lights can be seen above the magnetic poles of the southern and northern hemisphere. They are known in the north as “Aurora Borealis” and “Aurora Australis” in the south.

These lights appear in different colors. Pale green and pink are the most common. These lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light streamers that light up the sky with an eerie glow.

Northern lights are most often seen at high latitudes such as Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Siberia and Iceland during maxima in the solar cycle. Aurora Borealis occur in the Earth’s ionosphere as a result from collisions between energetic electrons and atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere.

Different colors come from different atoms or ions. Green and red colors come from atomic oxygen. Pinkish-reds and blue-violet come from nitrogen ions and molecules. Purple comes from combined colors of nitrogen ions and helium. Neon produces the very rare orange color.

Northern lights are intense when viewed from space northern. They appear in an irregular oval shape that may not be visible to the naked eye. The lights of the Aurora generally extend for 80 kilometers or 50 miles to as high as 640 kilometers or 400 miles above the surface of the earth. Scientists have learned that in most instances, northern and southern auroras are mirror-like images that occur at the same time with similar shapes and colors.

Areas that are not subject to “light pollution” are the best places to witness the beauty of the lights. Aurora was derived from the Latin word “aurora “which means “sunrise”. Aurora Borealis also means the “dawn of the north” while the Aurora Australis means “the dawn of the south”.
