PUT LIFE INTO YEARS …
We talk so much about health and nutrition. Seminars/workshops are held, newspapers scream about health tips in their columns, and dieticians and doctors talk about it. But do all of us know what a human being consists of? See the following facts closely to nourish or safeguard your body against ailments, both man-made and nature-made. You can get all the nutrients your body requires just by eating right. In fact, it is best for your body to absorb vitamins and minerals directly from food rather than from a little pill. Each vitamin, mineral or nutrient you absorb has a very particular job to perform.
We are a bundle of the following facts:
The skin is the largest organ of the body. Our skin alone weighs about 5 to 8 kg.
There are 206 bones in our body.
The heart pumps about 7500 liters of blood each day, beats about 1, 00,000 times a day.
The smallest bone in our body is in our ear. The longest bone in our thigh bone (femur).
The digestive system from mouth to anus is about 30 feet long,
Our stomach produces a new lining every 3rd day.
Red blood cells are produced at the rate of 2 million per second!
There are about 1, 00,000 hair follicles on our head.
Isn't this amazing? Hence take care of your body with the right approach and
the right nutrients your body needs.
