You have over 60,000 miles of blood vessels inside your body which could go round the Earth over 2 1/2 times.

The impulses in your nerves travel at speeds of between 170 to 250 miles an hour which is faster than a racing car.

Your brain can take in up to 1000 words a minute.

You have within you 7, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 (7 octillion) atoms. To put that into some perspective, there's only 300 billion stars in our galaxy. And those atoms that make up your body today are the same atoms that formed during the big bang over 13 1/2 billion years ago.

If you have a full head of hair it is strong enough to support 12 tonnes.

In 30 minutes your body gives off enough heat to bring a gallon of water to the boil.

Your bones are as strong as granite, and a section the size of a matchbox can support nine tons of weight.

The world's most powerful supercomputer can only manage .002% of the operations that your brain can perform in a second, which is 38,000-trillion operations.

Your eyes can spot the candle flame flickering at night from 30 miles away.

You share 50% of your DNA with bananas!

Your body produces 25 million new cells every second! Every 13 seconds, you produce more cells than there are people in the United States!

We are all bioluminescent and glow in the dark. However the light that we give out is 1000 times weaker than our eyes are able to pick up.

Every day your blood travels 12,000 miles around your body, which is four times the distance from one side of the US to the other.

If you stretched the 300 million capillaries in your lungs from end to end, they would extend for about 1300 miles.

You use an average of 43 muscles in your face when you frown. It only takes 17 muscles to smile.

In one hour, your heart produces enough energy to raise a ton of steel 3 feet off the ground.

Your red blood cells live 120 days, during which time they travel around your body approximately 250,000 times, each trip covering 60,000 miles!

During an average person's lifetime, your heart will beat an average of 3 billion times.

On average you will take 23,000 breaths daily.

Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents.

For the first 30 minutes of your existence you were a single solitary cell.

A sneeze generates a wind of about 100 miles an hour and a cough moves out at approximately 60 miles an hour.

There are more living organisms on your skin than there are people on the surface of the Earth!

The surface area of your lung is equal to that of a tennis court.
