<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">We live in it 24 hours a day for a lifetime and yet we know more about our cell phones and how to program our TV so we don't miss our favorite show than we do about our own body. Here are a few of the amazing things that your body accomplished just today.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2 class="rd-slide-title" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 0.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">
Your heart beat anywhere from 60 to 100 times every minute</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">Imagine doing biceps curls at that pace! That’s about 100,000 times a day—and up to three billion times in the average person’s life. What’s also very impressive about the heart is its ability to adapt to our lifestyles. During a vigorous workout, more than 70 percent of the heart’s output fuels your working muscles, for example, compared with just 20 percent while you are less active. You have about 100,000 miles of various blood vessels, laid end to end, and your heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood through them every day. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h2 class="rd-slide-title" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 0.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">
You breathed 25,000 times—without trying </span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">If you had to consciously choose to breathe that often, you’d never get anything else done. Or be able to sleep. So thank your brain stem for making the habit of breathing automatic. Curious why you need to inhale and exhale so often? Well, humans have a very high metabolism; at rest, you demand about seven to ten ounces of oxygen each minute. And your lungs are perfectly designed to handle these truckloads of oxygen. They contain about 300 million microscopic air sacs called alveoli, which provide the surface area roughly equivalent to half a tennis court to bring oxygen into the body while releasing carbon dioxide.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h2 class="rd-slide-title" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 0.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">
You produced about six cups of saliva </span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">Yes, that’s a lot of spit, but saliva is one of the body’s most underappreciated fluids. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to taste or swallow food. Or form words. Saliva is also a potent germ fighter: Its enzymes clean your mouth and prevent tooth decay and infections. No wonder animals lick their wounds.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em;">Your kidneys cleaned and recirculated almost 50 gallons of blood</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "montserrat" , sans-serif; font-size: 1.4375em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">That’s about three times as much as a medium-size car’s gas tank would hold. To fully appreciate the wonder of the kidneys, which form the most high-tech filtration system you’ll ever encounter, all you have to do is look at someone on dialysis due to poor kidney function. People need a machine about the size of a mini fridge to filter their blood, adjust electrolyte levels, and get rid of waste, while your body accomplishes this without any fanfare using two small organs, each about the size of a computer mouse. Your kidneys also help maintain the proper level of hydration. When you’re drinking a ton of water, they excrete more, turning your urine a clear or pale yellow color. </span><a href="http://www.rd.com/health/wellness/symptoms-of-dehydration/1" style="-webkit-transition: all 250ms ease; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'noto serif', georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 250ms ease; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black;">When you’re dehydrated</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "noto serif" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px;">, they cling to as much fluid as possible, so your urine becomes more concentrated, making it look darker (like apple juice).</span></div>

Our goal at </span><span style="color: blue;">COR 619</span><span style="color: #333333;"> is to help educate you and then motivate and guide you to avoid the main stressors that start the downward spiral which leads to an unhealthy life of disease and sickness.</span></span></span><br />
