A recent study looked at what happens to the discs in your low back after four hours of sitting.

Your low back discs actually lose height if you sit too long without moving. The worst offender is the L4-5 disc.
A simple stretch every 15 minutes can literally protect your spine from that shrinkage.

Why it matters for you:​
L4-5 is the most common level for disc degeneration and herniation. This study shows how even a single morning of sitting still can start the degenerative cascade—unless movement interrupts it.

If seed oils, ultra processed foods, and addictive additives were eliminated, and exercise and diet were prescribed as first line therapy, the United States would see an unprecedented drop in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer risk. That change would gut the profits of both food and pharmaceutical industries, which is why it is not happening.

Pain, whether physical, psychological, or spiritual, is 'treated' as an enemy but is perhaps one of our greatest allies.
We drug it, fight it, distract it... Pain is there to tell us something requires attention. Avoiding it leads to a bad place. I know pain is unpleasant, but one way or another,
it will be experienced. As the saying goes, 'In life pain is inevitable, but suffering is
optional.'

Wellness, Chiropractic Care and Nerve System Health:
The main components of your nerve system's "hardware" are the neurons, that is, the nerve cells themselves. There are more than 100 billion neurons in the brain and several hundred trillion synapses connecting these nerve cells. It is estimated that you have more neuronal connections in your brain than the number of stars in the sky.

As your body's master system, your nerve system controls the functioning of every cell, tissue, and organ that comprise your body.
Thus, the health of your nerve system is critical to your health and well being.
Problems arise when spinal misalignments are present.
Such biomechanical dysfunction causes spinal nerve irritation and nerve interference.
The result of nerve interference is musculoskeletal pain and symptoms of various diseases.

Regular chiropractic care helps maintain the health of spinal nerves and your nerve system by removing nerve irritation and nerve interference. Thus, the short- and long-term benefit of regular chiropractic care is enhanced health, wellness, and well being.

People breathe roughly 20,000 times every day

If we could track our breaths the way many people do steps or exercise, the results would be astonishing. While there’s no app for that, scientists estimate that an average person takes 20,000 to 25,000 breaths over the course of 24 hours. That breaks down to between 12 and 18 breaths per minute for an adult. Children typically breathe more quickly, up to 60 breaths per minute, which tapers down to the adult rate by their teenage years. All those inhales and exhales add up, and by age 50, the average human has taken at least 400 million breaths. Each one helps fuel our bodies; oxygen is a crucial component needed for our most basic functions, like moving muscles, digesting food, and even thinking.
Breathing tends to be an automatic process, but some scientists say that not everyone does it right. Mouth breathing isn’t just annoying when you’re sick or to those around you — it’s actually inefficient for your body. Inhaling through the nose helps heat and pressurize air so that the lungs can extract oxygen efficiently, and the cilia (aka nose hairs) are able to stop particles like pollen and pollution from entering the lungs; neither job can be done by the mouth. Mouth breathing can also cause sleep apnea, snoring, and even asthma. Amazingly, it can change the structure of your face over time; children who primarily breathe through their mouths have a higher chance of having narrow mouths and misaligned teeth.
