Part Three: The Vicious Cycle of Left-Right Asymmetry and Body Deformity
People who are asymmetrical will definitely feel uncomfortable in their bodies!
Our body, centered on the pelvis, is interconnected from top to bottom, from head to toe. Skeletal deformities can affect other parts of the body in some way. Therefore, we often hear statements like, "Constipation is caused by skeletal deformities."
The cervical spine refers to the seven bones at the very top of the neck.
If the cervical spine is deformed, the following symptoms may occur:
Shoulder pain, headache, tinnitus
Eye fatigue and hand numbness
Insomnia and whipping
※ Whiplash syndrome: also known as cervical spondylosis, is a type of cervical spine injury. Sometimes, a sudden backward tilt of the neck or similar causes can lead to damage to the cervical spine and its ligaments and muscles. Because the pain is like being whipped, it is called whiplash syndrome.
Why do people experience a decline in physical health and a loss of body shape?
Bone misalignment and skeletal deformities not only affect physical health but also lead to distorted body shape, gradually creating a terrifying vicious cycle. Now, let's take a look at this process together.
Flowchart of the effects of bone misalignment and skeletal deformities on the body
If bones and joints are misaligned, or bones are deformed
↓
When nerves and blood vessels are compressed, nerve transmission and the circulation of blood and lymph slow down.
↓
Muscle metabolism slows down, and muscles begin to atrophy.
↓
Muscle hardening
↓
Pain
↓
Decreased motor function and decreased visceral function
↓
Lower back pain, shoulder pain, body shape loss, obesity, and deteriorating figure
My shoulder pain has gotten worse lately.
However, physical discomfort and changes in body shape can be treated by oneself!
What can help us achieve our goals is: a skeletal correction belt – just roll it up and you'll lose weight!
So, starting today, let's make bone health a habit!
Beautiful skin starts with treating bone misalignment!
Beautiful skin is every woman's dream, but skeletal misalignment can easily affect the skin. This is because skeletal deformities can obstruct blood and hormone flow, as well as nerve transmission, preventing the secretion of growth hormones that promote skin metabolism. In this case, even applying the most expensive beauty serums won't achieve satisfactory results. To activate the body's internal "skin regeneration" function, start by correcting body deformities!
In addition to the exercises introduced in this book, I also recommend a "facial slimming massage technique"-let's try it together! It involves three steps: ① Press along the facial contour, starting behind the ear and moving to the tip of the chin. ② Press along the collarbone, focusing on the hollow area. ③ Knead the sternocleidomastoid muscle to relax it. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a diagonal muscle running from behind the ear to the lower front of the neck, one on each side. It can be seen when you turn your head to the other side.
Finally, it's essential to maintain a balanced diet in daily life. Modern people are prone to deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, which can affect blood circulation and make it harder to lose weight.
I often cook brown rice or stir-fry pesticide-free rice bran to supplement these nutrients. In addition, I drink a glass of juice made from ripe bananas and soy milk every morning, and I often use parsley and perilla, which are rich in iron and have detoxifying properties, as well as ginger, which warms the body, in my cooking. All of these are very beneficial to my health.
Why can wrapping a skeletal correction belt correct skeletal deformities?
Once the bones are stabilized, movement will naturally eliminate the deformity.
First, let's imagine what it's like to gather a bunch of loose pencils together: if you hold the pencils in your hands and then let go, they'll fall over crookedly. But if you hold them tightly and move your hands up and down along their length, they'll stay neatly arranged.
Our skeletons are like these pencils. In fact, skeletons are simply building blocks of bone, supported by muscles. If muscles weaken, they cannot firmly support the skeleton, and combined with the effects of daily habits, the skeleton will quickly deform. The state of a deformed skeleton is like a hand loosening its grip on a pencil.
Therefore, if you tightly wrap a strap around a part of your body, the strap takes the place of a muscle and supports the bones. In this state, small movements of the body, similar to how a pencil straightens, will naturally correct any deformed bones. By frequently wrapping the strap like this, the body learns to remember the normal skeletal structure, and gradually, the muscles will regain their strength.
When you gather the scattered pencils together...
As soon as I let go, the pencil fell to the ground, crooked and askew.
Hold the pencil firmly with both hands and move your hands up and down slowly; the pencil will be neatly aligned.
When wrapping the deformed bones with straps...
The human skeleton is supported by muscles and ligaments. If the muscles are weak, coupled with the effects of bad habits in daily life, the bones will quickly become deformed.
If you roll up the strap, the effect is the same as holding a pencil in your hand; you only need to move your body slightly, and the bone deformity will naturally disappear.
Why does wearing a bone correction belt promote blood circulation and eliminate edema?
Untie the belt, and waste gushed out.
Roll up the strap, wait a while, and then unroll it. The area that was rolled up will feel very relaxed and comfortable. This is because when you unroll the strap, the accumulated waste will gush out all at once.
Since the human body is 70% water, infrequent physical activity can lead to poor blood and lymph circulation, causing waste buildup and swelling throughout the body. Edema, also known as water retention, is one of the reasons why people appear heavier than their actual weight.
So why does blood circulation improve and swelling disappear after the strap is rolled up?
Wrapping a band around a part of the body can compress and stimulate the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in that area. It's like holding a rubber hose that's carrying water; the flow gradually decreases as you hold it, and if you grip it tighter, the flow is completely blocked. After a while, when you release your grip, the blocked water gushes out. Similarly, wrapping a band around your body and then unwrapping it allows any blockages in blood and lymph to flow freely.
In other words, rolling up and unrolling the band repeatedly is like using a manual pump to promote the flow of blood and lymph, preventing waste from accumulating and thus reducing swelling. In particular, stimulating lymph nodes in areas where waste tends to accumulate, such as the armpits, groin (where the abdomen meets the thigh), and behind the knees, can make the whole body feel relaxed and comfortable.
Imagine a rubber hose with water flowing through it...
When you hold the rubber hose in your hand, the water flow is blocked; this is the state when the hose is wound up.
After a while, release your hand, and water will gush out; this is what happens when the strap is untied.
