Take care of your spine!!!

Here are three reasons to take better care of your back
1.Your spinal cord gives you the ability to bend and twist. When your spine is injured, your mobility is limited. If you accidentally injure it, wear it out over time, or have repeated bad posture, you could have difficulty with things such as sitting up straight, bending over, picking things up, walking, twisting your spine, or moving your neck.

2.The nervous system runs electrical impulses up and down the spine to areas that feel sensation. A damaged spinal cord can disrupt neural responses, disabling sensations in parts of your body.

3.When you swallow food and water, it travels down your throat into your esophagus, and then into your stomach. Your esophagus is parallel with your spine. If you accidentally injure your spine, it can press against your esophagus, obstruct it, or puncture it. Surgery would be necessary to prevent further damage and fix the obstruction or punctured esophagus.

So don't underestimate the power of hand washing! The time you spend at the sink could save you trips to the doctor's office.🙌
