Is Blinking Really Necessary? Here Is Your Answer
Human beings blink a lot. Statistics show that the average human being usually blinks at a rate of about 20 blinks per minute. This, and the fact that human body doesn't really entrust "blink-acts" to its voluntary systems, and that it is almost automatic, suggests that it is important. Question is, is it really as important as it seems? While blinking might look like a mindless activity, it is not. As scientists have found out, blinking may just be the reason why you still have your eyesight.

About Me

Meet Steve Walden

I first became really interested in medical subjects when my wife was pregnant with our first baby. I had absolutely no clue what was going on, but I wanted to. I probably asked more questions during the check-ups than she did. If there was an appointment that I couldn't go to, I would have my wife give me a complete play-by-play. I was just really excited and really fascinated with everything. My favorites were the ultrasounds. The fact that I could see our baby and hear her heart beat seemed otherworldly to me. Since my wife's pregnancy, I've kept learning about various medical topics. I love it so much that sometimes I regret not realizing this sooner and going to medical school! But this blog will just have to do.
