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.

Fun facts! And I never thought to use sweet potato on a Shepherd's pie!
...news to me.
Fantastic 10 facts. Spicy shepherd's pie
looks very appetizing with pumpkin puree. I am very sorry that you cannot buy a pumpkin at this time.
Hugs and greetings.
Didn't know about 4 and 7.

Hello,
It is interesting to hear you can burn calories while sleeping.
Take care, have a happy new week!
I knew about the dreams and the smiling, but the rest were all new to me. I am SO glad you shared these facts with us, Jan.
Spicey Shepards Pie it is, says this old lady. :)
#2 I'm guessing the twice as much blinking is serious joke material waiting to happen.
#4 I'm hoping more of the cells that die are adipose tissue.
Muy interesante lo que nos cuentas. Feliz semana.
I wonder if talking to yourself was included in the word count?
I love Shepard's pie. I am surprised about the calories and napping. Isn't the heart an amazing and such a gift from God.
Yes, we were taught these in nursing school...interesting facts!
hugs

Interesting. My taste buds sure aren't what they used to be:)
Take special care.
Such interesting facts you shared - our bodies are so very amazing! I found it quite interesting about taste buds too! I sure do love spicy food, and wonder how I will feel about it when I'm sixty :) Your recipe looks so good, my husband and I are eating sugar-free and doing keto and intermittent fasting. I must give the sweet potato mash a try on top of shepherd's pie! Blessings to you!
THese are really interesting. And now I have a good reason for a nap! Happy new week Jan.

I love reading facts like this as I always find them so interesting. Oh do I ever wish I could nap period! Never been able to take naps. I would never sleep a wink at night. LOL! I can attest to the taste buds though! And, since I have gotten older I find myself being more picky! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
