Your Body Is a Living Battery

You are literally a walking, talking battery powered by chemical reactions.

It is called electrochemistry, but honestly, it is just atoms playing a game of catch with electrons.

One side throws an electron away, which is oxidation, and the other side catches it,

which is reduction. That movement of electrons is electricity. It is the exact same science that

powers the lithium battery in your phone and keeps your car running. But the wildest

part is that your own body runs on this too. When you eat, your cells are stripping

electrons from food to create energy. So next time you charge your phone, remember you are

basically doing the exact same thing to yourself just by eating a snack.
