Did you know that round back (abnormal spinal curvature) is related to high mortality and can even lead to death? Read more about the devastating condition, and ways to improve.

According to “Hyperkyphotic Posture Mortality in Older Community0 Dwelling Men and women: A Prospective Study, Journal of the American Geriatrics Society” by Kado DM et.al, there was a trend towards greater mortality with increasing kyphotic posture. It was found that kyphotic posture was related to 44% increase in death rate. Abnormal spinal curvature like hyperkyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis leads to decrease in pulmonary and other body functions, resulting in early mortality.
While these abnormal spinal curvatures are mostly treated with a surgery, the side effects of this spinal surgery includes “ infection, nerve damage, blood loss, bowel and bladder problems, loss of spinal balance, failure of the bones to properly heal and fuse, instrumentation failure and vertebral degeneration in the surrounding levels of the fused section.”
However, even without surgery, conditions can be improved by adapting the "Good Walking" and "Goof Breathing" method in daily routine, (Refer to previous posts for details)

Want to have a brain like Albert Einstein’s?
In the 1980s, University of California, Berkeley professor Marian C. Diamond compared the ratio of glial cells in the samples of Einstein’s brain with that of 11 other people. Glial cells in our brain not only provide support, nutrition and protection for neurons, but also assists neurons in forming synaptic connections between each other. Einstein’s brain was found to have relatively higher number of glial cells, especially in the association cortex.
Dr. Ahn recommends you save your glial cells by training. You can save your glial cells by association learning method. This includes learning and reminding yourself a growing list information over a long period of time until you can recite the whole information by heart and eventually associating each piece of information to each other. Also, if you have a good posture, good dietary habits, and a good breathing posture (refer to previous posts), they pose positive effects on your spinal health and even preserves glial cells in your brain.
