Vital and nerve directions

Hi

In a self-help book the author writes:

I want you to watch the next person you see that has the reputation of being a strong character, a man of force. Watch and see what a perfect control he has over his body. Then I want you to watch just an ordinary person. Notice how he moves his eyes, arms, fingers; notice the useless expenditure of energy. These movements all break down the vital cells and lessen the person's power in vital and nerve directions. It is just as important for you to conserve your nervous forces as it is the vital forces.

What is the meaning of "directions" in the sentence above? "vital and nerve directions"?

It is gobbledegook guised in language that attempts a semblance of being authoritative.
