When one has good posture it is better for the body to function. The heat production is when the body maintains a certain temperature and it is important because that is one of the main functions for the body to survive. For the body to maintain a normal body temperature the muscle fibers must contract to produce heat required to keep it normal.
One disease that one can get in the muscular system is Cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is known as one of the most common congenital disorders. It impacts the balance and motor functions along with the posture. When there is brain damage to a child at a young age it being before it was born or after, it causes a loss of muscle tone. When they lose muscle tone it makes it difficult for the person to go on with their everyday lives and perform the normal tasks needed each day.

There are also medications that can be used to make symptoms better.
People that have Myasthenia gravis live a normal life expectancy. There are some that experience remission but for some patients their life changes in a blink of an eye. Therefore they want to know their prognosis. What some may not know is that Myasthenia gravis does not get worse as you get older. If anything the symptoms start to go away. Patients are recommended to try different types of therapy to see which is best for them.
