  1. Mondays are busy days, maybe that's the reason why heart attacks often occur on such date. I could only imagine the amount of carbon inside our body, it's plenty!

  2. Nice trivia about the human body. The heart is also the strongest part of a person as it beats non-stop and keeps us going even through hard times.

  3. All things in the post are quite believable except the last one. I don't think they have examined each and every person who has had a heart attack and only had smart guesses according to those in their area. Days and sicknesses of people don't have any relationship and I hope I speak sense. :P

  12. Oh this is very interesting! About removing almost 80 percent of your liver that it can still function and rejuvenate--but diba if you had your liver removed or a portion of it, it can be very risky that sometimes it can actually lead to death?
