What is the most important part of the body: The head or the heart?<\/p>\n

This question existed since the dawn of philosophers… and middle school English teachers. We value our intelligence over most things, and for good reason. We traveled to the moon and back and turned communication with others around the globe into child’s play.

But without the heart, the brain could not exist. That’s why you MUST know these 25 important (and cool) facts about hearts. Some may even save your life… and your intelligence.<\/p>\n
