• We give birth to 100 billion red cells every day.
• When we touch something, we send a message to our brain at 124 mph.
• We have over 600 muscles.
• We exercise at least 30 muscles when we smile.
• We are about 70 percent water.
• We make one liter of saliva a day.
• Our nose is our personal air-conditioning system: it warms cold air, cools hot air and filters impurities.
