62,000 Miles On A Healthy Day

Posted by Dr. Siemers, January 19th, 2009,

Did you realize that if you placed all of the blood vessels in your body end to end they would travel around the equator two and a half times?  It’s true, while you read this article, nine pints of blood are traveling along 62,000 miles of blood vessels to support the hundreds of trillions of cells that make up your body while your brain and nervous system, the most complex and powerful communication system on the planet is orchestrating every single detail.

Your brain, communicating through the nerves from your spine, controls the size of every blood vessel that feeds your internal organs and not once in your day will you have to consciously think about raising your blood pressure to increase the oxygen to those same organs when they’re in need. It’s all done for you and by the innate power that created your body beginning from conception.  If your blood pressure isn’t what it should be, consider the possibility that a subluxation, irritating your nerves can affect the blood vessels and cause internal organ malfunction. It’s far more common than a beta blocker deficiency so see your chiropractor today and find out why it’s just that simple.
