\n Thirty-five percent of Americans don\u2019t know their own blood group, according to new research.<\/p>\n

While four in five might consider themselves knowledgeable about the human body, the survey of 2,000 Americans revealed only one in 10 know O-negative is the universal blood type.<\/p>\n

And three-quarters of respondents could not identify the correct number of blood groups as four.<\/p>\n

The survey examined the average person\u2019s health knowledge and revealed two-thirds did not know how many valves the human heart has (the correct answer is four).<\/p>\n

When it came to body temperatures, respondents didn\u2019t fare much better since only a third knew a fever is \u201cwhen the body temperature goes outside its normal range.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioned by USANA and conducted by OnePoll, the survey found two-thirds could not identify the commonly-assumed average body temperature as 98.6 Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n

Could you tell the difference between a liver and kidney? Nearly three in 10 (29 percent) misidentified the two.<\/p>\n

A third also didn\u2019t know the human body has two kidneys \u2014 with one in five thinking the body had three or more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise then, that respondents were trip<\/a>ped up when asked which organs contributed to the body\u2019s detox system.<\/p>\n

Nearly a third thought the lungs played a part while one in five named the heart (21 percent) or bones (19 percent).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so much going on in our lives, we sometimes forget that our health should come first and for a lot of us, our high school anatomy classes were ages ago,\u201d said Dr. Rob Sinnott, Chief Science<\/a> Officer for USANA.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m not too surprised by the fact that a lot of people aren\u2019t well-versed in the mechanics of the body and nutrition. But with everything happ<\/a>ening in the world right now, it\u2019s as good of time as ever to start taking your health seriously and learning about your body and how it works.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond general<\/a> health facts, 86 percent of respondents think they\u2019re knowledgeable about nutrition even though 47 percent wish they knew more about it.<\/p>\n

Less than half of respondents knew the recommended amount of fiber in a daily diet (25-30g).<\/p>\n

But while three in four people think vitamins are vital to filling nutritional gaps, 27 percent are not currently taking any.<\/p>\n

All in all, respondents admitted they want to learn more about certain aspects of medicine.<\/p>\n

Forty-six percent want to expand their knowledge around mental health while 38 percent would like to look into cardiology and 32 percent want further education on reproductive health.<\/p>\n

When in doubt, there are standard places Americans go to for answers to their medical queries.<\/p>\n

Three in five have sought advice from their doctor, but people are turning to Google more and more to get a grasp on what\u2019s going on with their bodies.<\/p>\n

Half of the respondents have turned to the internet for medical advice.<\/p>\n

The average person will only wait six hours from a new sensation before googling symptoms.<\/p>\n

Respondents will Google from just about anywhere including coffee shops (27 percent), while out shopping (21 percent), in the car (38 percent) or office (46 percent).<\/p>\n

The most common spot by far was in bed though, with 59 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you find yourself with gaps in your nutrition, or would like to optimize your health as much as possible, I recommend adding nutritional supplements to your daily routine,\u201d Dr. Sinnott added. \u201cThey are great at giving you the vitamins and minerals your body needs that you don\u2019t necessarily get from diet alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
