I thought in celebration today I would share with you some weird facts about your body. (Leave it to a nurse to always be educating on health!) Enjoy!!
~During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill TWO swimming pools.
~Feet have 500,000 sweat glands and can produce more than one pint of sweat a day.
