The Human Body and Various Oddities.

I hope Everyone is recovering from Spring Break, because i certainly am struggling to. I realized that once your body get used to being lazy and inactive, a sudden resuming of hectic activities can take its toll. That, as you can imagine, got me thinking of the humans and how complex we are biologically and yet sometimes so strikingly simple minded. So, without further ado, five FünFacts of us humans and our bodies.

The gut is the only organ that can continue working without the brain. It is similar to the brain in its composition. I wonder where the term gut-feeling comes from?

Ever wake up in the morning and feel younger or older than you are? Different parts of the body have different ages. The entire human skeleton is replaced approximately every 10 years. The human body is only about 7 - 10 years old.

#3
Ever been told you have two left feet? The 1600's to the 1800's might be the place for you. In the 200 years between 1600 and 1800 boots were not made in left or right. They both were the same. There were lefts and rights before 1600 and after 1800.

#2
Trouble breathing? That's because we breathe only from one nostril at a time. We alternate nostrils. Each one breathes for 4 hours each.
Breathing from certain each side affect the way you answer different question on different subjects. Breathing through the right makes you better at visual and spatial things whereas the left is better for verbal things. Sports personalities wear a nose band so that they can breathe from both nostrils. Right nostrils being blocked make you feel more anxious.

Looking for a perfect figure to attract? Look no further. Dr. David Holmes, a psychology lecturer at the University of Manchester, created a formula to describe the beauty of a perfect bottom:
