FUN 🤩 FACT 🥸 FRIDAY!

Did you nose, eh sorry, I mean did you know…

Your nose gets warmer when you lie?! 👃 🌡️

Here’s the scientific bit…

Scientists have discovered that when a mental effort is made (performing difficult tasks, being interrogated on a specific event or lying) face temperature changes. When we lie about our feelings, the temperature around our nose raises and a brain element called “insula” is activated.

*Cue parents checking noses from now on!! 😂

Happy Friday everyone 💜 have a lovely evening.
