Protect Your Nerves & Brain: Nutritional Solutions for Carpal Tunnel and More

The ability to feel sensations in your fingertips, feet, and elsewhere in your body is due to an amazing network of nerves. Nerves help you feel the slightest breeze or touch, hot or cold temperatures on your skin, the vibration of your phone, or a pebble in your shoe. Walking, balance, gait, or the ability to open a door, write your name, or use your tech devices depends on nerves throughout your arms and legs and their connections to the brain. Even feeling comfortable in your own skin is affected by nerve health.

The peripheral nervous system is made of nerves with various shapes and sizes such as small fiber nerves and long axons. These different nerves relay sensory and motor/movement information to and from their local area, brain and spinal cord, and much more. Some types of nerves have a layer of insulation or myelin that surrounds it. This allows for faster neurotransmission and protection. Maintaining and protecting their structural integrity and numerous functions is vital to your health and activities.
