Some facts about humans

Read the following facts about us.

Ø  At the time of birth we had no choice to choose our parents, family members, relations, friends,           physique, health, wealth, intelligence, height, weight or else.
Ø  Our body is given freely with five senses, mind and creative will (Buddhi), etc.
Ø  Heart beat, Respiration and digestion are involuntary. These are not in our hands.
Ø  In the day to day life, life events/incidents such as accidents, meeting strangers, rain etc. not in           our  hands.
Ø  Result of any activity is not in our hands.
Ø  Natural agents (Ex., Rivers, glaciers, wind patterns), Natural disasters (Ex., Cyclones,                         earthquakes, floods), Planetary motions not in our hands.
Ø  Death is not in our hands.
Ø  We have not created the nature and its components, including oxygen, on which humans, animals,        plants depend for survival.
Ø  It is evident that we was not bringing any at the time of birth and not taking away at the time of           death.
Ø  If the nature does not protect us, no survival for us. For ex., if skin has no reaction to fire our               body may burn without our notice.
Ø  We have neither created, nor distributed the natural resources among the world countries, just              utilizing for our development.
Ø  Nature has been maintaining the hydrological cycle and providing drinking water.
Ø  We are not awarding rewards or punishments in our life.

Let us think, whether it is a Science or Philosophy

After knowing the scientific facts about our body let us know its structure and significance. The Human body is a living super computer. It is studied by health professionals physiologists, anatomists, psychologists and by artists to assist them in their work. Physically, the body comprises of head, trunk and limbs.

Our body parts (organs) are made of cells, and the cells with molecules and the molecules with atoms. The Human body contains about 10 trillion (10¹³) cells, the fundamental unit of life. Their sizes vary in between 1 and 100 μm. The diameter of an atom ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 nm.

Atom

The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The nucleus contains one or more protons and may also contain neutrons. Protons have a positive charged and neutrons have no charge at all.

The flow of electrons is electricity. Electric fields are created by differences in voltage: Magnetic fields are created when electric current flows. Water plays a prominent role and a drop of water contains 5.4*10⁷ atoms. It means millions of atoms present in our body and generating electromagnetic energy. So we can define our body as a machine working based on the electromagnetic forces and the life processes are dependent of this force. For example;

·         Food digestion requires electromagnetic force

·         Mixing of oxygen into blood is due to magnetism

·         Nervous system utilizing electricity for the transmission of signals

Mind is the steering wheel of the human body, operated by human personality.

Human body and Electricity 

There are practically no non-electrical systems in the human body.

  

·        There are practically no non-electrical systems in the human body.

·        Without electrical energy, our bodies would be unable to function.

·        Our bodies are equipped with bio-electrical cables, known as nerves, millions of meters  in length. Information is transported along these cables at a speed approaching that of   light.

·         All nerve fibers have electrical charges. The electricity outside the fiber is positively   charged and the inside is negatively charged.

·         Positively charged ions enter the nerve sheath while negative ions move to the exterior   of the nerve fiber, thus setting up an electrical current. As a result, the relevant muscle or organ functions.

·         Nerves interpenetrating our bodies consist of hundreds, and sometimes, thousands of     nerve cells called “neurons.”

·        We can compare a neuron to an electrical switch that goes on or off. Neurons receive   signals from neighboring neurons and transmit to adjacent neuron.

·         All neurons contain, short fibers known as dendrites, which carry electrical signals, and   a long fiber known as axon that carries signals for long distances.

·        Every cell is like a miniaturized battery. Surrounding the cell is a liquid rich in potassium, and the inside is full of liquid high in sodium. If two mined, they react and electricity emerges as a side product.

·       The electricity in our cells is carried by ions. During the movement of ions, cells produce electricity.

Which controls the human beings?

After knowing our limitations, we should think about the power/energy that controls our lives.

1.      If birth, death and related aspects are not in our hands, which one is controlling human life?

2.      Most of the people answering the God or the Nature or some Power.

3.      If so, whether it has biased nature? The Answer is ‘should not be’ as we were in the middle of       the nature, where all its components were scientifically proved.

4.      On what basis it has been deciding day to day events in human life.

5.      What is the cause for different physique and personalities?

Cause and Effect

Without cause, nothing will happen in the nature or in our lives of course, it may not be possible in some cases.

      Cause and Effect-Some examples

Cause	Effect
If a person takes adulterated food	Face health problems
If a person addicted to liquor/drugs	Face health problems
If a student neglected the studies	Fail in the course
If a person has a negative personality	Suffer with poor mental health
If a person frequently anger with others	Suffer with heart and other  problems
If a person is happy	Enjoy sound health with satisfactory life

How to understand the nature?

By activating our body naturally, we can understand the nature. For this, yoga is useful and it is briefly explained here.

Yoga, is a group of physical, mental(meditation), and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India (Wikipedia). Physical yoga helps to keep the body healthy and mental yoga useful to achieve balance emotions and to get all-round positive development in our body. Meditation also improves analytical abilities to understand the link between the human body and the nature.

Benefits of Mental Yoga (Meditation)

Meditation means concentrating on something. It may be on breathing or on a picture or on some work.  The best way is to meditate on breathing, as it is directly linked with heart beat.

The various benefits of meditation are;

·         Decreased Stress

·         Enhanced Ability to Deal with Illness

·         Decreased depressive symptoms

·         For cancer patients

·         Improved Academic Success

·         Buffer against Bullying and Depression

·         Provide Support and Boost Resilience

·         Advantages of Integrating Mindfulness in the Workplace

·         Reduced Word-Related stress and Psychological Distress

·         Decreasing Turnover and Burnout

·         Explaining  Neuroplasticity

Influence of Negative Attitudes
