Unbelievable that your body is capable of these things!

5. Your tongue has a print and it is as unique as your fingerprint. The researchers are developing a way to use the tongue as a biometric authenticator just like our fingers and retina.

6. Our tongue has 8,000 taste-buds and each of them contains 100 cells that help us taste our food.

7. There are no tastebuds for Spiciness. Capsaicin, a chemical found in chili, tricks your taste buds into thinking there is something actually hot in your mouth and makes food taste spicy. It actually does the same to other cells in your body, that’s why you can feel chili on your skin but you can’t feel any other taste like sweet or salt through your skin.

8. The pain caused by Capsaicin in chili leads to the release of endorphins in your body. Endorphins are natural painkillers and give a feeling of happiness and well-being. Now you know why you crave spicy food!
