Video: See the 'waste' of the human body for a year
In a year, a person's body will produce countless numbers
In a year, a person's body will produce countless "products" in incredible quantities. For example, the hair will grow more than 15cm, the fingernail will be 3.8cm long and the amount of peeling skin will be approximately 4kg, equivalent to the weight of one person.
The amount of tears released in 12 months will be about 22 gallons (approximately 83.3 liters). During this time, the body will also produce 60 gallons (about 227.1 liters) of sweat and 96 galons (nearly 363.4 liters) of saliva. Excreted urine amounts to 133 gallons (approximately 503 liters) and the amount of excreted waste is about 163.3kg.
