What most people do not realize about the human body, is that it can compensate for small inconveniences to one's health as a form of natural healing and giving the body the ability to function without becoming disabled.

Sort of like a cup that holds water, once that threshold is met, the cup is as good as if it doesn't work at that point for any new occurrences to contain.
