We’ve become a disposable society. We’re lucky if our television lasts 10 years. Computers? Two or three years! We grumble, but few of us would prefer Windows 3.1 to our current operating system!
Unlike mechanical devices, some say our bodies are designed to last 120 years or longer. To achieve this feat, our bodies are designed to survive. In fact, many everyday symptoms are merely survival strategies.
Runny nose? Survival strategy. Extra mucus production enhances immune system function.
Bleeding from a cut? Survival strategy. Blood contact with air invokes the clotting response.
Diarrhea? Survival strategy. Remove toxic food as quickly as possible.
Vomiting? Survival strategy. Remove toxic food even more quickly!
Pain? Survival strategy. This warning system tells us to make a change.
When you consider how many survival strategies our bodies use, you understand why the nervous system is so important—it orchestrates the whole show.
