ARTERIAL NETWORK ❤️

This plastinate shows the arterial network of the whole body along with the bones and ligaments.

Our cardiovascular system is significantly influenced by body position. For example, by getting up from lying down, about half a liter of blood flows into the lower half of the body and into the veins of the legs due to gravity.

This causes blood pressure to drop, to which the body responds very quickly. The heart beats faster and stronger to pump more blood and the small arteries contract to increase resistance to the blood flow.

THE HUMAN BRAIN 🧠

The grey matter in the human brain consists mainly of densely packed nerve cells, the neurons. Their job is to process nerve impulses.

Grey brain matter is mainly found in the cerebral cortex and in the nucleus areas deep in the brain. The cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, thinking, language and consciousness. The core areas of the deep brain regions control the unconscious brain functions.

HUMAN BRAIN 🧠

The human brain is a work of wonder that still holds many secrets because of its complexity. However, some facts have already been established:

👉 For example, we know that brain tissue contains about 100 billion nerve cells that are closely connected by 100 trillion synapses. In addition, there are about 1 trillion supporting cells that stabilize the tissue.

👉 The combined length of all nerve tracts in the body of an adult is approximately 5.8 million kilometers. A distance that could circumnavigate the earth 145 times.

TISSUE HEALING

One of the most common issues I encounter when helping people recover from an injury or from surgery is of the healing times of various tissues. Everyone wants to be better now, but this isn’t realistic. Tissue healing takes time. We can’t rush it. And it’s important to understand that tissues heal at different rates depending on their physical makeup and blood supply, among other things. Additional contributing factors, such as diabetes, age, poor nutrition, inadequate rest, etc can further delay the healing process.

This chart shows the average range of healing times for various tissues in the body, including different grades of tissue injury for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It can serve not only as a guide but also a reminder that we can’t force our bodies to heal faster than physiologically possible. What we can do is optimize the healing process by rehabbing appropriately, eating high quality food, getting adequate rest, and staying patient and positive throughout the journey.

O inchaço dos pés e dos tornezelos é um sintoma comum que, geralmente, não é sinal de problemas graves. Na maioria dos casos, está relacionado com alterações normais de circulação especialmente em pessoas que, por exemplo, ficam muito tempo em pé ou caminhando.
A má circulação nas pernas é um processo natural que surge devido ao envelhecimento das veias que as torna menos capazes de empurrar o sangue de volta para o coração e, por isso, o sangue vai se acumulando em excesso nos pés e nas pernas.

Os Sais de Schussler NEW ERA nºs 8 + 10 podem ajudar:
-o Sal nº 8, também conhecido como o sal do balanço hídrico, ajuda a regular o metabolismo hídrico;
- o Sal nº 10 também conhecido como o sal da excreção tem por missão descongestionar o organismo.
Como tomar?
Deixar dissolver 2-4 grânulos de cada Sal na língua ou sublingual 3 vezes ao dia.
Podem ser administrados com outros suplementos e/ou medicamentos sem qualquer interferência.

Medidas complementares:
- deitar com as pernas acima do nível do coração;
- fazer uma leve massagem desde os pés até ao quadril;
- caso trabalhe em pé, considerar meias de compressão elástica.

Nota: Quando o inchaço é acompanhado por outros sintomas como dor, vermelhidão intensa ou dificuldade em caminhar, pode indicar outros problemas e deve consultar o seu médico.

Os Sais de Schussler NEW ERA está disponíveis em farmácias selecionadas, ervanárias, dietéticas e nas lojas do Celeiro.
