Why your neck is like a Banana.

Why your neck is like a banana? To protect the neck from damage and to reduce the force (stress and strains) on the spinal cord and nerves. Let’s dig further into this …

Perhaps the most important curve is the cervical lordosis or neck curve. This curve protects the neck from damage and also plays a tremendous role in allowing proper nerve energy to be transmitted to the rest of the body. The late Alf Breig MD, PhD, (a leading neurosurgeon in his time) demonstrated that reductions in the neck curve can stretch the cervical cord and brain stem as much as 7cm and that this stretch is transmitted all the way down to the nerves in the lower back region.

Obviously over time, This stretch on the nerve tissue can put the body in a state of dis-ease and lead to a number of altered health consequences.

Imagine if you took an unripe and unpeeled banana and forcefully changed the shape of it’s curve - either straightened it or reversed it. How do you think the banana would look like once peeled?
