Here's another fun fact for you: There are 206 bones in the human body. One fourth of them are in your feet!The muscles in our feet are too often overlooked. Think about all the things you do on your feet. Can you imagine life without them? Take a minute out of your day to appreciate them and all the hard work they go through by treating yourself to a foot massage. Better yet, spend some time bonding with your spouse, your kids, or even a friend and have a foot massaging party! You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel when you start taking care of yourself from the bottom up.

Here's one you might have already experienced: Fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than toenails!But did you know that the pink under your fingernails is the blood in your capillaries? You did?Okay how about this: There are no muscles inside the fingers. The muscles which bend the finger joints are located in the palm and up in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers like the strings of a marionette.Here's food for thought: About a quarter of the motor cortex in the human brain (the part of the brain which controls all movement in the body) is devoted to the muscles of the hands.Last but not least, did you know that the wrinkles on the back of the finger knuckles are actually dimples? They mark areas where the skin is attached to the tendon beneath the skin.Now you'll know the back of your hand a little better than you did before!
