Answer: Our muscle strength can be measured in different ways. If you are referring to the muscle that can exert the most force, then your calf muscle, the soleus, would be the winner. However, if you want to find the muscle that can exert the most pressure, then the jaw muscle, or the masseter, would be the strongest. The human jaw can close teeth with a force as great as 200 pounds, or 890 newtons!

🤗 A Better Life ~ Healing the Wound
I know of no one who has not been hurt or betrayed by a loved one. It seems that the deepest wounds come from those close to us. I’ve found that although I cannot forget (the scar will never leave), I can forgive and allow a new relationship to grow. I know that anger causes the wound to fester, forgiveness causes the wound to close and the scar to form.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Whoever Loved That Loved Not at First Sight?
Whoever Loved That Loved Not at First Sight?
Christopher Marlowe
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows; let it suffice
What we behold is censured by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Are Packaged Meals Healthy?
Answer: It Depends, Watch Out for the Sodium Content
You may have to eat a frozen meal now and then, but don’t make it a habit. Certain packaged foods can be loaded with sodium and other preservatives. The FDA suggests sticking to no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day—that’s one teaspoon of salt. A typical frozen entrée can easily pack more than 30% of your sodium intake for the day, so check the label before plopping one in your grocery basket.
