Does everyone agree that smacking your funny bone is not very ‘funny’ at all?! 😣

Hitting your funny bone is actually nothing to do with bone, but instead nerve tissue. Part of the ulnar nerve becomes quite exposed as it passes through the elbow and around a bony notch of the arm bone (aka humerus). This is what you causes you to grab your elbow and yell out in pain. Not so funny ha-ha, right?!

Some of the important jobs of B-vitamins include helping the body use the energy it gets from carbohydrates, protein and fats, as well as helping the body to produce new cells by making new DNA 🧬

Eat a healthy, balanced diet to ensure you get your quota of B-vitamins.
