What we need to know about the "MECHANICS" of the human body!

Good morning my friends . . .

I hope you had a "wonderful" wintery weekend!

So, this week . . . we're going to continue with the importance of "UNDERSTANDING" and "LISTENING" to our body for optimal health!!!

You see . . . YOU are the ONLY one that has the "privilege" of this "conversation"!!!

Your doctor . . . ONLY knows . . . what YOU tell him/her.

And yes . . . they can figure some stuff out by taking "blood work" . . .

BUT . . . UNLESS you specifically tell them your "concerns" . . .

The "blood work" they generally take . . . is just your "basic" blood panel.

Which MAY NOT . . . tell the "true" . . . or . . . "whole" story of your health!!!

So, this week let's continue to "understand" what "signs" we need to be looking for.

This way . . . when you do go to your own healthcare provider . . .

You are better informed to . . . INFORM them!!!

And ASK the RIGHT QUESTIONS!!!

How many times have you gone to the doctors . . . ONLY to walk out with more questions than you went in with???

Or maybe . . . you didn't KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK at all???

So, today . . . let's continue . . . and talk about the "mechanics" of the "muscular" system . . .

What's that all about???

Well . . . the "mechanics" of the system involve . . .

Muscle contraction - where specialized "fibers" shorten in response to nerve signal . . . pulling on bones to create movement.

And this process is the "key" function to our movement, posture maintenance, joint stabilization and heat generation

So . . . what do we look for "IF" this system isn't functioning properly???

Well . . . that would be . . .

Muscle pain - deep, steady ache or sharp localized in the muscle

Joint pain - feeling achy, stiff or throbbing

Weakness - a loss of strength to do activities like running, jumping or climbing

Fatigue - feeling tired all the time with lack of energy

Trembling or shaking - uncontrolled or twitching in the muscles

Balance and gait issues - difficulty with balance, stability or walking

Swelling - inflammation or swelling in the muscles can mean injury

Cramping - involuntary and painful muscle contractions

Reduced endurance - less stamina during physical activity

Drooping eyelids - neuromuscular disorders

Unexpected weight changes - the body may break down muscle for energy, leading to weight loss

So, people . . . it MAY NOT be the fact that we're just getting "older" . . . as to why we feel our "muscles" getting weaker.

It could be a "sign" of a "muscular" system issue!

So, tomorrow . . . let's talk about the "signs" we would look for in a "faulty" NERVOUS SYSTEM" . . .
