More Evidence that sitting is bad for you.
Dr. Sarno tells us that in TMS, blood is being restricted to the area of pain. Dr. Shubiner says that it is the nervous system gone hypersensitive that causes the pain. This article discusses how being sedentary affects the brain, it affects the nervous system restricting blood flow. Part of the article reads:
"A well-regulated sympathetic nervous system correctly directs blood vessels to widen or contract as needed and blood to flow, so that you can, say, scurry away from a predator or rise from your office chair without fainting. But an overly responsive sympathetic nervous system is problematic, said Patrick Mueller, an associate professor of physiology at Wayne State University who oversaw the new study. Recent science shows that “overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system contributes to cardiovascular disease,” he said, by stimulating blood vessels to constrict too much, too little or too often, leading to high blood pressure and cardiovascular damage.
Could this also be a reason for the rise of TMS, MBS...back pain in general?
