Motion Is An Essential Nutrient For Creating Health!


The latest research is proving that motion is a required daily nutrient for creating a healthy body. This makes sense because if you think about humans from an evolutionary perspective, our ancestors were constantly moving in order to hunt and gather food. This trained our bodies over time to become not only used to moving, but actually need it to maintain body-wide functioning. Movement deficiency syndrome occurs when a person does not take part in total body daily exercise. The cerebellum, which is located at the back of the brain, is responsible for coordinating all aspects of input into the brain. This includes balance and coordination, emotion, cognition, learning, affect and most importantly motion. Individuals who have injured their cerebellum expereince memory loss, changes in personality, balance and coordination problems and mood swings. A subluxation in your spine (this is the problem that chiropractors help to fix each day by adjusting the spine) is actually a segmental movement deficiency syndrome. Subluxations act as a stressor to the body and cause all sorts of symptoms including pain, muscle spasm, fatigue, numbness, tingling or weakness and many more. When a chiropractor adjusts a subluxation he or she is creating motion at the restricted joint and encouraging healthy body functioning!
