Example: Poor blood quality causes corresponding weaknesses in Neurological Function and Vitality Function. If the oxygen content of the blood is chronically reduced, the Nervous System (brain and nerves) will not receive the oxygen it needs and will not be able to do it's job in some way. The brain uses more oxygen than any other organ. Even slight oxygen depletion can lead to poor mental clarity (memory, concentration, etc.), or more serious neurological diseases. In addition, it can lead to symptoms anywhere in the body, because Neurological Function is systemic.
