Studies revealed that human body weighs about 70kg has 0.229 milligram amount of pure GOLD.
While gold is not the main ingredient of human composition, you’ll be delighted to know that gold naturally exists within your body right from your birth.
A human body is composed of different chemical elements like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon. Although gold can’t be found in high amounts like other elements, it does exist within your body.
The third edition of the book ‘The Elements’, written by John Emsley and published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, revealed that the average person’s body, weighing 70 kilograms, would contain a total mass of 0.229 milligrams of gold.
It is the purest form of gold, so if one can imagine it in a cubical shape, its diameter would be 0.22 millimetres on each side.
Role of Gold in a Human Body
This hidden treasure inside has been neglected for many years; however, ‘Chemical Experts’ have found it and also discovered its role in the human body. Gold plays a role in both health and the proper functioning of joints. Moreover, it is also equally helpful in the transmission of chemical or electrical signals from the body.
Interestingly, silver can also be found, but the amount of this mineral is higher than gold. It’s about ten times higher than gold. A human can become a greedy soul after knowing these facts about the human body and the occurrence of precious metals.
