The Chemistry of Being Human

You are basically just a walking explosion of chemical reactions. Your body is constantly snapping bonds and

rearranging electrons just to keep you running. It is not just mixing stuff together like

a salad; you are building massive polymers from tiny parts. Think of carbs as

your fuel and fats as the insulation for your nerves and cell membranes. Then you have proteins,

which are the actual workers doing everything from fighting diseases to sending signals. It is actually insane

that a bunch of invisible protons and glucose molecules combined to create the person watching

this right now.
