Health Signals

Each category of health input is considered equally important. Chemical signals include nutrition, food quality, inflammation, and allergic responses. Health is influenced by multiple categories of signals. Health is described as governed by structural, chemical, and emotional signal categories. Emotional stress is said to affect physiology through signal pathways similar to structural and chemical stressors. Addressing only one signal class while ignoring the others is presented as producing partial and unstable results. Holistic health considers chemical, physical or mechanical, and emotional or thinking factors as major inputs. Health requires attention to all three categories rather than overemphasizing one. The article says the posture and movement interventions primarily affect the structural signal class.
