We hang out with our own bodies all the time - so we tend to take them for granted. But if you stop and think about everything your body does, you just might consider how great it is (and you are).
All the time your body’s doing a million things that you’re not even aware of- like digesting breakfast, growing new skin, and carrying oxygen to cells from head to toe and ear to ear! Here are 10 incredible facts about your body.

2. When a pregnant woman suffers organ damage (such as heart attack), the fetus sends stem cells to the damaged organ to help repair it.
3. Your heart rate slows when your face touches water, it's called the mammalian dive reflex.
4. Your body has enough iron in it to make a metal nail 3 inches long.
