A senior lady I know has significant postural issues along with some internal organ digestive problems. When she asked her medical doctor if there could be a possible relationship between her poor posture and distended waist, her doctor explained there would be NO connection between her postural and gastric problems. This is absolute medical ignorance that goes deeply into medical and health history that warrants some critical commentary!
