I'm still travelling hopefully in the opposite direction with my copy of Readers Digest
(although some say it is better to travel in the Hope Valley than to arrive...)

There are about 120 trillion cells in each of us containing enough DNA (if it is lined up) to stretch from the earth to the moon 1000s of times!
According to an estimate made by engineers at Washington University, there are around 1014 atoms in a typical human cell.
so that's 100,000,000,000,000 or 100 trillion atoms in each of the 120 trillion cells or 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in a 70 kg human.
Each of those atoms is made up of a number of protons, neutrons and electrons depending if they are oxygen, hydrogen or carbon atoms or to put it another way 93% of our body mass is made of stardust and the rest is big bang dust.
