10 Secret Things You Didn't Know Your Body Could Do

The human body is truly a weird and wonderful thing. It's capable of doing all sorts of neat tricks, such as letting us know when we're unwell, informing us of when we're hungry, and getting rid of its own waste. In addition to all of these obvious functions, there's also a whole lot of other things that our bodies can do - and you're probably not even aware of half of them.

There are dozens of hidden secrets that our fleshy masses harbour, and many of the these mysterious features are actually cool little hacks that can help us out when we find ourselves in precarious situations - or even if we're just caught short. Most of these tricks are pretty ambiguous - as well as hard to believe - which is why you've likely not heard of them until now.

You also might be surprised to learn that several of our key organs have hidden depths. For example, did you know that the human heart is capable of predicting the actual, God-honest future? Or that our eyes can reveal our deepest secrets? Thought not.

We've all been in one of those unnerving situations where we really need to go to the toilet, but our circumstances prevent us from doing so. Well, did you know there's a pretty neat trick that can help us out in such situations - a trick that reduces the urge to pee?

You're probably doubtful of such a hack, but it really does exist. All you have to do is think about sex, as it reduces the need to urinate. Why? Because sex occupies both our bodies and our minds entirely, so everything else - such as needing to pee - becomes less important. We've all been there.

So, next time you find yourself in a situation where you're dying for a wee - and going to the toilet just isn't an option - you know what to do.
