Your Miracle Body Will Leave You in Wonderment

YOUR MIRACULOUS BODY: What It Does Daily Will Leave You in Awe
 

Here are 10 inspiring, brief facts excerpted from my book A HUG IN A MUG: Revitalize with Fruits, Veggies, Juices, Soups, Spices, Teas & Healthy Living Extras. You'll find much more detail about the awesomeness of your body and how to best take care of it in this book as well as my other books UPLIFTED and JOY & THE BUTTERFLY.
 

1)  Each day your heart pumps approximately 2000 gallons of blood through its chambers. It beats more than 100,000 times a day to achieve this incredible feat.

2)  You take around 17,000 breaths a day on average, and don't have to think about a single one of them. 

3)  Your brain doesn't stop working. It is estimated that about 50,000 thoughts pass through it each day on average. That is a whopping 35-48 thoughts every minute.

4)  The cells in your stomach lining produce an alkaline substance every few milliseconds to neutralize stomach acid. If they didn't do this, your stomach would digest itself because some of the acids are strong enough to dissolve metals.

5)  You blink about 28,800 times every day, with each one lasting just a tenth of a second. This is a voluntary reflex the body uses to keep the eyes clean and moist. 

6)  Each red blood cell lives for about 40 days before being replaced by a younger model. It's no surprise their life span is short, having made 60,000 trips around the body, they must be exhausted!

7)  You shed more than 1 million skin cells every single day but they are constantly replenished automatically to save you from turning transparent and becoming rather exposed!

8)  Your hair (if you still have any) grows about half a millimeter per day, and the average adult with a full scalp has around 100,000 hairs on their head. So that's a combined 50 meters of hair growth every single day.

9)  You grow 8mm every night while sleeping before shrinking back down again the next day. This saves you from some pretty hefty clothing bills and ensures you don't have to raise the door frames every year or two.

10)  Your 30+ trillion body cells are regenerating themselves every single day without any prompting. This means you have an entirely new set of taste buds every 10 days, new nails every 6-10 months, new bones every 10 years and even a new heart every 20 years.

So next time you think that your body is starting to creak, just think about all the incredible things that are happening inside it every day because all of us are a miracle. Be thankful for your miraculous God-given body and take loving care of it!

Double-Meaning Title: The title, A HUG IN A MUG, has two meanings. Firstly, yes of course, it refers to some delicious, wholesome foods and beverages you can enjoy in a mug like healing teas, rejuvenating juices and scrumptious soups. These are all discussed in this book, which also includes over 100 easy-to-prepare, nutritious recipes. Secondly, it also refers to looking at your body as a magnificent MUG, a miraculous vessel given to us by God, to take care of throughout our lives. We need to give our body many hugs each day in the forms of wholesome nutrition, daily exercise, ample sleep, time in nature, stress management practices, positive social connections, an attitude of gratitude, uplifting faith and more. Health-care starts with self-care and it’s our responsibility to honor our glorious physical, mental and spiritual mug-vessel; it’s all interconnected and working as one.

UPLIFTED: 12 Minutes to More Joy, Faith, Peace, Kindness & Vitality —

Busy lives inevitably create a hectic pace of life. Experiencing beauty, feeling wonder and breathing in deeply of life’s blessings often fall to the bottom of our “to-do” lists. In my celebrated book, UPLIFTED, I help you reconsider your priorities and aspirations, and your goals and dreams; it also will help you reassess how you use your time and what you value in order to live a more fully realized life.

"The secret to creating these transforming changes,” I write in one of the chapters, “is that they’re made one step at a time and in 12-minute doable segments. They build on one another, so that nothing becomes a burden. They become manageable steps to take your life forward, until their cumulative effect manifests major changes of significance.”

If you want to learn how to both honor our body and keep our mind uplifted and positive, then my book, UPLIFTED, will be a godsend to you.
