Our own bodies are complex and interesting. Thousands of part work together for proper functioning of your body. As defined by Jess C. Scott “The human body is the best work of art.” let's try to know some interesting facts about human body.

#1. Don't sweat it.

Sweat itself is odorless. It’s the bacteria on the skin that mingles with it and produces body odor.

Bacteria that are naturally present on our skin thrive in sweaty regions.

#2. Brainiac.

Your brain accounts for only 2% of your body weight, yet it uses 20% of the total oxygen and blood in your body.

It’s fascinating. That little grey blob weighs just about 4 pounds, and yet is quite possibly responsible for essentially all of our success as a species.

This also shows that, at least when it comes to brain power, bigger is not always better. Cows, whales, and elephants (in addition to many other creatures) all have much bigger brains than we do.
 And yet we eat steak like it’s no big deal. Guess we’re winning, right?

#3. Crack those joints.

A scientist cracked his knuckles on one hand for over 50 years to prove it did not cause Arthritis. After 50 years, he concluded that there was no arthritis in either hand, and no apparent differences between the two hands. This is, of course, a rather small data set, but it’s interesting nonetheless!

Hats off to the brave man who risked arthritis (as well as dirty looks from all his friends) in the name of science.

#4. Shush and listen.!

Hearing is the fastest human sense.
Hearing

Your brain can recognize a sound 10 times faster than the blink of an eye. That’s as little as 0.05 seconds.

You heard it here first: the most efficient way to get someone’s attention from across the room is not to wave at them— it’s to scream at the top of your lungs.

#5. Brain functions are complex.

More than 3% of people are born with phonagnosia: they can’t recognize the voices of familiar people.

People suffering from phonagnosia do not suffer from aphasia (an inability to comprehend and formulate language), which suggests that separate areas of the brain govern linguistic comprehension and voice recognition.
