Did You Know These Ten Facts ?

Sharing these ten facts

1. If you’re a female and you feel like your heart beats quicker than your male counterparts, you’re not wrong. Women’s hearts are proven to beat faster than men’s.

2. As well as having faster heartbeats, women blink twice as much as men as well.

3. Can’t remember your dream from last night? That’s perfectly normal since most people will forget 90% of their dreams.

4. Every 3-4 seconds, around 50,000 cells in your body will die and be replaced by new ones.

5. During the average lifetime, your heart will pump a grand total of 182 million litres of blood.

6. Every 10 years, the human skeleton repairs and renews itself. Essentially, you have different bones now than you did 10 years ago!

7. It’s much less effort to be happy – you’ll use 17 muscles to smile vs. 43 to frown and be miserable.

8. While this can’t be said for everybody, the average person will say around 5,000 words every single day.

9. People burn more calories being asleep than they do by watching the TV. More reason to take a nap!

10. Our taste buds seem to change throughout our lives, but by the age of 60, the average person has lost half their taste buds. This is why older people don’t seem to care as much about bitter or unusual tastes.
