The Human Body
No machine can compare to the human body, which can do all this with minimal conscious control and awareness:
As an average adult during an average day:
- You exercise 7,000,000 brain cells.
- You speak 48,000 words.
- Your heart beats 103,689 times.
- Your blood travels 27,000 kilometers.
- You breathe 23,040 times.
- You inhale 12.4 cubic meters of air.
- Your hair grows 0.44 millimeters.
- Your nails grow 0.0012 millimeters.
- You move 750 major muscles.
- You eat 1.5 kilograms of food.
- You drink 1.3 kilograms of liquids.
- You lose 2.8 kg of waste.
- You perspire 677 milliliters of sweat.
- You turn in your sleep 25 to 30 times.
- You give off 29.8 degrees C of heat.
Just like any finely tuned machine needs tune-ups, so does every human body require regular maintenance. Regular chiropractic visits ensure proper spinal alignment, allowing for optimal functioning of the nervous system. This allows these daily actions to continue without interference.
