Structure Your Lifestyle for Maximum Health

I dont know of any part of the human anatomy or the anatomy of any living organism for that matter that is not designed for maximum efficiency and performance.

The scientific wording for this is: Structure Governs Function

For example;

The skull is a powerful protector of the most important organ in the body the brain.

The ears are angled to access acoustic vibrations.

The eyes discern colour and are best suited for gazing long distances.

The nose warms, filters and humidifies the air we breathe before it reaches the lungs.

The oral structure has some amazing functions from lip smacking and sucking to chewing, swallowing and digestion.

The structure of the spine allows for:

-stretching

-flexing

-bending

-twisting/torquing and

-rotation

The joints of the limbs allow for walking, climbing, running, reaching

The hands and fingers wellwhat more can we say other than the finger-thumb opposition sets us above all other animals.

We are an amazing piece of work.

We don't even have to know how all the parts work but we can be confident that all parts work for the whole.

The prime directive within each organism is to maintain its integrity at all costs.

To this end, each cell in the body adheres to the basic laws of biology, viz

- Response
- Reproduction
- Repair

The body responds to all stimulations, be they physical, chemical or electrical.

Each cell is capable of reproducing itself through the constant metabolic pattern of anabolism and catabolism.

And lastly, the body has an inbuilt program of repair - it heals itself and goes through cycles of detoxification when necessary.

This is the manner in which the body is structured and these are the means by which it communicates with itself.

All the best in structuring your lifestyle for better health.

Do You Live in a Flood Zone - 12% of Americans Do!

Over 12% of the united States population lives within a flood zone and even more people live close to the ocean, which means they are also potentially in danger of being flooded out by excessively high tides high, tsunamis or hurricanes storm surges. We have all heard of the famous fifth-year flood or the hundred year flood study if we look at Environmental Impact reports and building codes or master plans for most municipalities and counties.

These are quite real no matter how much they are downplayed or how often they are mitigated by giant cement ditches or runoff canals. The fact is 12% of Americans still live in a flood zone and that means is not a matter of if, but when. Lately we have been seeing quite a bit of flooding in the united States due to extreme weather.

Indeed, more people die from floods, then any other natural disaster and just because we live in a modern civilization such as the united States does not mean we are immune to these challenges or problems. Of course if you live in a flood zone it might be wise to have flood insurance although this might not be enough and even if you collect on insurance you still generally lose everything.

It would be wise before buying a home or moving into an area that you check to see if the region has historically had large floods within the last 200 years. And don't kid yourself even if a big flood only comes every 200 years that means in any 20 year that you have a one in 10 chance of being flooded out. It makes sense to play it safe and smart and not take anyone else's word for it. If you do not believe what I'm saying, turn on the news.
