5 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

  The body is one little, complicated yet amazing organization. So many things take place inside the human body and if we actually took the time to try and study to find out what happens in the human body, then we would definitely be amazed. Even as you read this, there are things happening about your body that you probably have no idea about. Here is a list of 5 facts about your body.

•   YOU ARE TALLER IN THE MORNING

As absurd as this seems, research has actually shown that the human body is a bit taller in the morning than it was just before you went to bed. I’d explain. During your everyday activities, there is pressure applied to our joints and this pressure causes a compression in the cartilage of the spine which in turn leads to a general reduction even though it is only for a few inches. As we sleep and rest the joints, the spine is released of this pressure which allows your body to go back to its original height. So, if you are going to carry out a height check, make sure it’s after proper rest, preferably in the morning.

•   POWER PINKY

Ever wondered why it hurts so much when stuff happens to our pinky finger? The reason for this is because half of the hand strength is in the pinkie finger. Studies have shown that without the pinkie finger, it will be very difficult to do a lot of things like pinching. Although the pinkie finger is the one easily forgotten as its application is not found in basic things like writing, eating and holding of objects, it is still the most important finger and losing your pinkie finger would be really bad. The other four fingers only produce half of the hand strength while only the pinkie brings the other half. Take a moment to appreciate the good ol’ pinkie.
