Amazing Health Facts

Your eyes are incredible; as an extension of your brain they use one third as much oxygen as the heart, need ten to twenty times as much vitamin C as the joint capsules that move your arms and legs and require more zinc (our intelligence chemical) than any other organ system in the body.  When combined with your brain, they make up 2% of your total body weight and yet consume 25% of the nutrition we take in every day.

It’s no wonder then why blindness is such a concern for diabetics.  Your eyes are unable to protect themselves like other tissues from too much insulin in the blood stream and because both insulin and vitamin C resemble one another in structure, the doorway for each cell to let in the vitamin C (an antioxidant) is blocked from the excess amounts of insulin that compete to get in.  When you then realize that the vast majority of diabetics do not exercise, (a requirement to increasing the bodies ability to acquire and use oxygen), you can begin to see a recipe for disaster.  See yourself clear to understanding how your body really works and you will gain the power to experience health without limits.

In the last 24 hours, as an adult, your heart beats 103,689 times, your blood travels 168,000 miles, you breathe 23,040 times, you inhale 438 cubic feet of air, you eat 3 1/4 pounds of food, you drink 2.9 pounds of liquids, you perspire 1.43 pints, you give off 85.6 degrees F, you turn in your sleep 25-30 times, you speak 48,000 words, your nails grow .000046 inch, your hair grows .01717 inch, you exercise 7,000,000 brain cells, and you move 750 major muscles. The only reason you would have less energy each day is if you had subluxations preventing your body from doing these every day tasks efficiently.  Remember, it takes 17 muscles to smile and 42 to frown and only three to extend your arm and pick up the phone to make an appointment to get adjusted.

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.
