I think my mom was just like, oh, you've got that from me.

modest as ever my mother um but my mummy is very very very good with faces very good we'll be walking just doing some shopping and she'll see someone and then go and speak to them and she'll have known them from primary school and she'll remember them and my mum's what's she now 61 and she went to primary school at like seven or eight with them and she'll remember them so do you think this is genetic or do you think this is learned

I've no idea. I don't think it's learned. I don't think you could teach someone. I don't think you could teach someone to be able to just do it at all.

Mucus is one of the most important things, if not the most important thing that your body produces. It lines the nose, the mouth, the eyes, the lungs, the entire digestive tract. All told, your body is making like a gallon of mucus a day, basically.

The biggest thing that I think no one really thinks about is you breathe so much, about 20,000 times every day. And what folks don't often think is exactly what is occurring in the body when that's happening. Your body has to do this spectacular thing. It's trying to get in as much oxygen as possible, as quickly as possible, and put that oxygen in contact with the blood, right?

So the structure of the lungs, they basically have all these kind of little sacs people know called alveoli. They're kind of like little grape sacs. that the air goes into and then it gets put into contact with the blood.

But what that means is that basically with every one of those 20,000 breaths, you're spreading a soda can or two of blood across an area, a soda can or two of air, across an area about the size of a tennis court. It's really just this miraculous ability that happens every single time you breathe. My personal favorite detail about breathing is that it is so connected to the brain.

That makes a lot of sense, right? This is about the most important thing your brain can be doing. It's about as hardwired as it gets. Your brain is controlled by these pulses of activity, kind of washing across the brain this electrical activity. And there's real evidence that the speed of your breath affects those rhythms.
