Some Fun (and otherwise unknown) Facts

The radio station I listen to in the morning on my commute to work always follows their traffic reports with odd tid-bits of information. You know, stuff that you only find in the small print of the Guiness World Book of Records or Crazy State Laws, or facts about things that no one has ever wondered. I find it quite entertaining.

As my dedication to passing on things that I find entertaining to my loyal readers, I thought I would find some intersting and, well useless but fun, health facts.

  • A person will burn 7 percent more calories if they walk on hard dirt compared to pavement.
  • A hard working adult sweats up to 4 gallons per day. Most of the sweat evaporates before a person realizes it's there, though!
  • About half of all Americans are on a diet on any given day.
  • Contrary to popular beliefs, chocolate does not cause acne.
  • From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin to shrink in size. (Wish I didn't know that one!)
  • Gardening is said to be one of the best exercises for maintaining healthy bones.
  • Perspiration is odorless; it is the bacteria on the skin that creates an odor.
  • The average person can live for eleven days without water, assuming an average temperature of 60 degrees fahrenheit.
  • There are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the world.
  • Womens' hearts beat faster than mens'.
  • You mostly breathe from only one nostril at a time!
  • You probably just tested the above fact & found it to be true (ha ha! Had to add that in!)

I hope you enjoyed those little facts! Have a great day! It's almost Friday!!

Until Tomorrow!

Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
