The Human Body

The more symmetrical your face the more healthy and attractive you appear, there is even a ratio that determines "attractiveness" and that ratio is 1:1.618.
On a "beautiful" face the mouth is always 1.618 times the width of the nose, and the width of the mouth is 1.618 times the distance from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the face. Even the placement of the eyes on the face in relation to the bottom (chin) and the top (of head) is determined by the 1.618 ratio on a beautiful face.
It is thought that Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" face fits the 1.618 ratio.
Very few faces fit the 1:1.618 ratio !!!

A person with a "perfect" body, when standing, the distance from the floor to navel is 1.618 times the distance from navel to top of head.
The bones between the knuckles in the fingers show the same ratio with the longest bone being 1.618 times the length of the middle one, which is 1.618 times the length of the end bone.
