Your Body’s Hidden Operating Systems

Your body is running two completely different operating systems just to keep you from crashing.

You have the nervous system acting like a high-speed Wi-Fi connection for instant reactions,

while the endocrine system is the slow background update that controls your long-term mood and

growth. It is pumping cortisol when you are stressed and thyroid hormones to keep you warm.

Then you have the digestive tract, which is basically a long tube turning pizza into energy.

Without your gallbladder spraying bile to emulsify fats, that cheat meal would wreck your

stomach. It is crazy how much chemistry happens just to keep you standing.
