Weight Loss without Worry

     The next time you get frustrated with your body take a moment to appreciate all the things it does for you…automatically

• Your lungs breathe 14 times/minute
• Your heart beats 100,000 times per day pumping 2,000 gallons of blood
• Your kidneys completely filter all your blood about 40 times/day
• Your stomach produces 2 to 3 pints of gastric juice/day
• your body produces 100 billion red cells every day
• Every month you grow a brand new outer layer of skin…”a new you!”
• Your nose can detect 4,000 different odors
• Your eyes register 36,000 images/hour
• Your muscles, if they could work together and pull in one direction, would equal 25 tons of pulling power
• When you touch something, the message is sent to your brain at 124 mph
• You use at least 30 muscles when you smile (sounds like a great workout)
• The surface area of one of your lungs is equal to that of a tennis court
