Veteran Posts: 109 Location: Singapore | Dear yogis/yogins, Thanks and Namaste. 2. The discs of the spine are under constant pressure. The spinal discs are designed to absorb shock and maintain spinal flexibility by acting as cushions during body movement. The discs act similar to shock absorbers in a car. Car shock absorbers maintain a constant pressure to “push back” against the weight and movement of the car. Spinal discs act in a similar fashion. The pressure within the discs pushes the bones of the spine apart preventing them from crashing into one another during activities like running and jumping. Unfortunately, this constant internal disc pressure also pushes the fluid out of the disc consistently every day. This makes it difficult for the body to “suck” in new, healthy disc fluid with its much-needed oxygen and nutrients. | ||

This is not kinesthetic but more if an anatomical question which therefor should be posed to an anatomist. And I particularly do not care to comment on articles that do not have a citation to the author. However I will say that my understanding is that blood supply to the discs stop aroubd 20 years of age. | |||

purnayoga - 2010-08-22 9:06 PM However I will say that my understanding is that blood supply to the discs stop around 20 years of age. This is also what I have read and heard from various "experts." This is one very important reason why yoga is important for back/disc health into old age. Disks are not like muscles or organs which need a constant fresh supply of blood for oxygen and nutrients, but are nonetheless living matter and require nutrient intake as well as waste material removal, both of which are facilitated by spinal bending and twisting. Yoga asana practice is one of the best methods for maintaining a healthy spine, and since most of our nerves travel through our spines, overall health is also greatly improved. | |||

Now I have got a better idea from Gordon. But I have an idea that the gentle stretching of the spinal joints through asanas causes the secretion of a lubricant which is called synovial fluid. This fluid released into the joints and keeps them supple and also helps to remove waste products. This reduces stiffness, which prevents arthritis or improves it if anyone already has this problem. Thanks Brayan | ||
