Our bodies work hard every day to keep us alive and well. And yet, some of the things our bodies do in order to make that happen are unknown to us, and others are downright weird! Here are some facts about the human body that are both extraordinary and fascinating.
#1: Blushing Inside
It is quite common that the human face blushes – it happens to the best of us. Sometimes we blush when we’re embarrassed, excited, tired, or even sick. Our faces can tell quite the story without ever muttering a single word! So, what if we told you that there are other places of your body that blush as well, that cannot be seen?
That’s right. Inside of our bodies, our stomach lining actually changes to the same reddish color as our faces when we blush. It coincides with whatever is making our face blush. This is not to say that literally the blood that makes our faces blush then travels down to our stomachs. However, when we blush, the capillaries in our bodies expand, which creates that well-known redness.
