Amazing Things the Human Body Does Every Minute

When you have a stuffy nose, it makes you appreciate breathing smoothly. Our bodies work hard to keep us comfortable every day. Let's be grateful and acknowledge some amazing things our body does every minute. Our eyes constantly send visual information to the brain. The cornea bends light, the iris adjusts light, and the lens focuses light onto the retina. The retina transforms light into electrical signals sent to the brain for interpretation. All this happens in milliseconds. In just one minute, our brain handles around 600 million bits of visual data!
