When you think about great and healthy performance, you probably will think about athletes and physically active individuals. You probably associate optimum health to good exercise and the right food. However, you should know that great health all boils down to your body’s over-all chemistry.
What does this mean? Your body’s performance relies heavily on the proper coordination of the millions of processes that happen in the body. All these processes work well for as long as the cells carry out their function and exchange the vast number of chemicals around its different parts. The coordination of this intricate process in turn relies heavily on the nerves, which carries the signals that instruct every cell, tissue and organ to do its function.
If you think along these lines, you will probably realize the potential danger when there is sudden interference or blockage in the normal flow of nerve messages. Cells will become confused, normal processes will start becoming dysfunctional, and your over-all health will suffer in no time.
What are likely to cause nerve interferences? As you know, the spine is the main control center of the nervous system. It connects your brain to the other parts of the body, and houses all the most important nerves. If the alignment of your spine is amiss, the nerves will slowly feel an added pressure, disrupting their normal function. Worse, if the pressure is too much, the electrical signals that govern your body’s chemistry may become totally blocked, and your health performance will suffer greatly.
It may take a while for you to feel the effects of improper spine alignment. If you do not maintain an optimal spine, you can expect some of these symptoms to eventually set in: body pain, sleeping problems, chronic tiredness, aching or stiff joins, headaches, irritability, and a lot more.
So, if you want to be at your best health, never take your spine for granted.
