Just when I thought my brain was completely numb from all the Kardashians in the news I accidentally learn something. It’s cool though! There are 6 parts of your body that are WAY younger that you are. Now I don’t feel so old, well at least by body doens’t think of itself as old anymore. I still creak and pop when I get out of bed. What’s sad is that I’m not even 30 yet! Oh well moving on. Have you ever heard that ALL the cells in your body regenerate every 7 years? Well thats not true. However, there are some parts that do “replace” themselves constantly. Check out the things that are pretty much brand new on your body after the jump!
#1.) Your Liver. It weighs about three pounds, and the cells regenerate every year or so. Technically, your liver is never older than two years old.
#2.) Your Red Blood Cells. One drop of blood has millions of red blood cells, which deliver oxygen to other cells, and also help remove waste from them. About one fourth of all the cells in your body are red blood cells, and none of them are more than four months old.
#3.) Your Eyelashes. On average, you have about 150 to 200 lashes on your upper eyelid, and 75 to 100 on your lower eyelid. And most of them are around two months old.
#4.) Your Skin. The outermost layer of it is called the stratum corneum, and it’s only about two weeks old.
#5.) Your Taste Buds. When you’re young, you have about 10,000 of them. But as you age, that number might fall to around 5,000, which is why you stop liking certain foods you used to LOVE. Your taste buds are constantly being regenerated, and most of them are only about 10 days old.
#6.) The Lining of Your Stomach. Special cells produce the acid and enzymes that help you digest food. And as a whole, the lining of your stomach is only about five days old.
Your welcome! See I’m not just full of random useless knowledge. You may accidentally learn something! But don’t count on it.
