Fun Health Facts...Or List of Useless Hooey

I'm not exactly a candidate for Jeopardy, but I do enjoy trivia and fun facts. Thought I'd share some with you:

For every pound of weight you lose, you take 4 pounds of pressure off your knees.

Sex burns about 360 calories per hour. (Hmm...better break it down by minute...ha ha -- 6 calories per minute).

When you take a step, you are using up to 200 muscles.

By weight, bone is five times stronger than steel.

The life span of a tastebud is ten days.

Dentists recommend that you keep your toothbrush at least 6 ft. away from the toilet to avoid airborne particles from finding it. (Eww!)

The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45% when a person looks at something pleasing.

Your heart rate can rise as much as 30% when you yawn.

Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10 minute workout on a rowing machine.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Due to the angle at which the optic nerve enters the brain, staring at a blue surface during sex greatly increases the intensity of an orgasm. (Yowza! Blue paint sales are going to skyrocket!!)

Have a great day, folks :-))

  5. No wonder I love my new blue master bedroom. ;) I'd heard the suggestion about toothbrush, and actually measured the distance to be sure ours weren't in the toxic zone. Germophobes reside here. LOL
