Here are 15 weird facts about the human body:
1.The human nose can detect over one trillion different scents, making it one of the most sensitive organs in the body.
2. The surface area of the human lung is roughly the size of a tennis court, due to the many tiny air sacs that make up the lung tissue.
3. Human bones are stronger than steel, and can support up to 16 times the weight of concrete before breaking.
4.The human body produces enough heat in just 30 minutes to bring a gallon of water to a boil.
5. The acid in your stomach is so strong that it can dissolve razor blades and prevent bacterial infections.
6. Your eyes are always the same size from birth, but your nose and ears never stop growing.
7. The average person sheds around 600,000 particles of skin every hour.
8. The tongue is the strongest muscle in the body relative to its size, and is the only muscle not connected to bone.
9. Your brain uses up 20% of your body's oxygen and 25% of its glucose, even though it only weighs about 2% of your total body weight.
10. The human heart beats around 100,000 times per day, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood throughout the body.
11. The human body contains enough fat to make seven bars of soap.
12. A sneeze can travel at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and can send thousands of droplets into the air.
13. The human body is capable of producing over 25 million new cells every second.
14. Your ears and nose never stop growing because they contain cartilage, which continues to grow throughout your life.
15. The human body contains enough iron to make a 3-inch nail, enough sulfur to kill all fleas on an average dog, enough carbon to make 900 pencils, enough potassium to fire a toy cannon, enough fat to make seven bars of soap, and enough water to fill a ten-gallon tank.
So.... even though you are WEIRD, we still love you!

Want to raise healthy kids?
My greatest advice and 'bio-hack' is to get your little one adjusted frequently by a chiropractor.
Why?
Here are 7 Reasons that I could think of off the top of my head
1. Musculoskeletal health: Chiropractic adjustments may be used to address musculoskeletal issues in children, such as spinal misalignments or joint dysfunctions. These conditions can occur due to various reasons, including birth trauma, sports injuries, or poor posture, and may cause discomfort or pain. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper alignment and function to the affected areas.
2. Growing pains: Some children may experience growing pains, which are often described as achy or throbbing sensations in the muscles and bones. Chiropractic care may be used as a complementary approach to alleviate discomfort associated with growing pains.
3. Improved nervous system function: The nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, plays a crucial role in the overall health and well-being of children. Chiropractic care focuses on optimizing the function of the nervous system by ensuring proper alignment and mobility of the spine. This may potentially benefit children's neurological development and overall health.
4. Promoting proper posture: Poor posture can be a common issue among children due to factors such as prolonged sitting, sedentary activities, and improper backpack use. Chiropractic care may include postural assessments and corrective exercises to help children develop healthy postural habits, which may have long-term benefits for their musculoskeletal health.
5. Sports performance and injury prevention: Children who are involved in sports or physical activities may benefit from chiropractic care to optimize their musculoskeletal health, prevent injuries, and enhance sports performance. Chiropractors can provide assessments, treatments, and recommendations for injury prevention and management.
6. Overall wellness: Chiropractic care is often considered a holistic approach to health and wellness. Some parents may choose chiropractic care for their children to promote overall wellness, including improved sleep quality, immune function, and general well-being.
7. Individualized care: Chiropractors often provide individualized care based on the specific needs and conditions of each child. They may take into consideration factors such as age, health history, and lifestyle to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the child's unique needs.

Is fat burned evenly throughout your body? Yes and No. Let me explain. The human body is miraculous in it's function. It is extremely efficient. When you are burning fat, your body will prioritize based on 2 criteria. 1) It will burn off the fat that is most harmful to it's health and function. 2) It will burn fat from the areas that are easiest to reach. Here is what you will notice on your journey... most people will lose fat from their necks first, this applies to both criteria above. There are more blood and lymph vessels in the neck supplying the head and brain than anywhere else in the body. Next, you will burn visceral fat. This is fat stored around your organs. During this phase you will notice that your size is getting smaller, but you look the same in the mirror. After visceral fat comes intramuscular fat. Again, in this phase you will notice you are getting smaller, but will also your muscles will feel firmer and more dense. Finally, after intramuscular fat, you will begin to burn subcutaneous fat. This is the fat stored under the skin. This phase is when you will notice your shape is changing and your body looks different in the mirror every day. This phase is exciting! Depending on how much fat you have to lose, this phase could take weeks or months to reach, so don't get discouraged by the mirror. Watch your non-scale clues and trust your body!

This post might hurt your feelings... 😉 But I care more about your health that your feelings. STOP drinking name-brand Diet Sodas! They are harmful, toxic and damaging to your brain. The artificial sweetener Aspartame is a huge no-no for health conscious people! It is BANNED in most countries. It crosses the blood-brain barrier (not a good thing), turns on your cravings for sweets and turns off the satiety centers (makes you think you are still hungry when you are not). If you must have a carbonated fix, try ZEVIA (sweetened with Stevia, no colors or dyes). It comes in all the popular flavors!

How important is Body Composition testing? Look at these tests. At first glance, it appears that I lost only 1.6 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks. While that is technically true, if you look at the Fat Mass, a much different story unfolds. My fat mass went from 56.6 pounds to 46.2 pounds - a difference of 10.4 pounds & bodyfat % went from 25.6% to 21.1%. Becoming healthy is much more than simply looking at a weight scale!
