11 Months Old

Consider this:

Scientists have discovered that the human body regenerates itself on a continual basis, so that after approximately 11 months, all the cells in the body have been replaced. Some cells are replaced more rapidly than others, but the point is this: at most your body is only 11 months old!

That's right! People may argue it, but the scientific fact is that your body is only 11 months old, at the oldest! The cells that are regenerating right now in your body are brand new, fresh cells. The old ones are discarded as waste, the new ones continually make up the new you!

I know this is a very high level approach to viewing the human body, but the science is sound.

So the next time someone asks how old you are, you can reply "At most, 11 months!"

Isn't eternal youth grand? =-)
