Did you know that your job can affect how long you live? Studies show that people who are bored at work may have a shorter life expectancy. So, finding a job you enjoy could be key to a longer life! Your body can also warn you about danger. For example, if your hair stands on end, it could mean lightning is about to strike. In this case, quickly hop into a metal car. Why?
