Understanding the Human Body is Critical to your Practice

The human body is extraordinary.  It is made up of countless intricate functions and systems that work synergistically to keep you healthy.   Did you know…a person will die from the total absence of sleep sooner than from starvation?  Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation can take 4-5 weeks.  Or how about the fact that it takes 17 muscles to smile, but a whopping 43 to frown?
