Default The expanding universe (I'm getting taller and wider)

From http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia...ExpandUni.html

"galaxies are not moving away through space, they are moving away with
space, as space itself expands."

So does this mean that the all matter is moving away from other matter?

In other words, if galaxies are getting further apart from each other then
does that not mean that the molecules in your body are also getting further
apart from each other?
