Chemical reactions in the body
Chemical reactions are an essential thing that is happening inside of your body. Even though chemistry is the basis for all the workings inside your body, it does not feel crucial.

The chemicals that cause a change in the body are called hormones. Hormones are necessary for a healthy body because they tell our body how to act. Hormones are the chemicals that tell our body that we are hungry, tired, excited, nervous, or cold. Our hormones are also responsible for when we are happy, and we are also responsible for our moods.

Going through this list made me feel silly for being so smug about who I am and what I'm doing. I'm pretty sure the closest I come to participating in or supporting scientific studies is when I read an article about human sexuality or a Twitter argument about hipsters. I do what I can, but who knows what I'm contributing? I'm not in the habit of writing book reviews on my blog, so if you want to know how to get me to read your book and why, send me an email or message me on Facebook!
