You can't walk around as a disembodied mind, so you'd better find out how your body works, how to look after it, what can go wrong with it and what we can do to fix it if does go wrong.
You've got a body — find out about it. There's useful information and there's useless but rather fascinating facts about such things as how many others things are sharing your body as a home and how much spit you produce each day.
