Five interesting facts you could learn by visiting websites in the MWCC Health & Wellness Directory:

• Teeth dating from approximately 7000 to 5500 BC show evidence of having holes drilled in them from dental drills. The teeth were found in people of the Indus Valley Civilization.
• Babies are born without knee caps. They don't appear until the child reaches between two and six years of age.
• The length of the finger dictates how fast the fingernail grows. Thus, as on most people the middle finger is longest, that is the nail that grows the fastest.  On average, your toenails grow at half the speed of your fingernails.
• The lifespan of a person is divided into seven ages.  Due to biological changes moving very slowly and varying from person to person, arbitrary dates are often set to mark periods of human life.
• The beliefs in one's own health as poor, fair or good, or excellent, has been correlated with well-being and mortality in the elderly.  The more  positively people rated their own health, the higher their well-being.
