hanksgiving is a time for family and friends to gather around the table, swap stories and catch up. But did you ever have a relative nag you at the table about sitting up straight? If they did you should thank them- not only does correcting your posture improve your appearance and get your grandmother off your back– no pun intended–it is also vitally important for proper flow of neurons and nerve energy to all of your organs.
Postural distortions are the leading cause for spinal misalignments, and if they progress, can also lead to complications for other organs and organ systems function in the body. Your spine is like a hose, supplying energy from your brain to the rest of your body. Just like if a hose is kinked, reducing the flow and output of water, so too does the nerve flow from your brain become reduces as your spine “kinks” from postural distortions. So sit up straight this Thanksgiving and impress your family- it will also add inches to your height and have everyone remarking on how healthy and tall you look this year!
