      I think the human body is an amazing thing and would love to be able to understand it fully. I don’t think anything about us is weird, i find it fascinating the things the human body is capable of. We are amazing creatures!

      Its not only the atoms, the fact that our own cells are out numbered by the bacteria in our gut! But we need them to be healthy! Our bodies are truly amazing

      Every cell within your body interacts and ‘talks’ to other cells to maintain whole system balance. Then what we do on the outside, such as exercise or eating has huge consequences on how our cells behave. So without knowing you have a lot of control over the genes and proteins that regulate how your body works.
