The Ins and Outs of Your Immune System Written By: Dr. Andrea Mills

Abnormal posture is evident in patients with chronic and stress-related illnesses. ~American Journal of Pain Management Think of the healthiest person over age 70 that you know. Picture them in your mind's eye. If you were to describe their structure to me, what would you say? Do they stand up straight? Are their shoulders square? I bet that if you had to describe their posture, you'd say that it is very good. What's the relationship between health and structure? According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Deviations in the body's center of gravity (read: NeuroStructural Shifts)... have resulted in intestinal problems, hemorrhoid, varicose veins, osteoporosis, hip and foot deformities, poor health, decreased quality of life, and a shortened life span." NSS (NeuroStructural Shifts) affect how the brain talks to the body. Think of your nerves that take all the functional messages from your brain to your cells like they were the box that sits on top of your TV and talks to the satellite dish. If the box can talk clearly to the satellite dish, what do you see on your TV? A clear picture, right? Thinking along those same lines, if your nerves are getting clear messages from your brain, you'll have clear messages to your body. But what if there's a blockage of some sort? If your body isn't getting clear messages from your brain, that leads to decreased health. It doesn't always mean that you have symptoms, but it does mean that your cells aren't working as well as they could; and over time that causes decreased function and decreased immunity. "Despite the considerable evidence that posture affects physiology and function, the significant influence of posture on health is not addressed by most physicians." American Journal of Pain Management We're coming into the time of year where many people get sick. Take a look at the people you know who always seem to be fighting something off. How's their structure? Is their structural alignment good or does it need improvement? NSS cause more than just pain. They can affect any part of your health including the Immune System.
