Why sitting is the new smoking-and what can we do about it?
So to be fair sitting does not fill the lungs with toxins but its long term effects are silent,cumulative and damaging over time.
When you sit for long hours your back becomes irritated due to poor posture, muscle tightness, neck and shoulder tension,and reduced caloric burn.
This in turn leads to increased risk of heart disease,diabetes,arthritis and circulatory issues.
What can we do about it
1)move every 30 minutes-stand up stretch, walk around
2)use a sit stand desk to alternate between sitting and standing
3)engage your core-sit tall,feet flat on floor,shoulders back
4)do shoulder rolls,neck stretches or back stretches while sitting
5)remain active-while not at work take walks,do light exercises and stretch
Remember Aristotle-life is movement
Counteract the effects of sitting by moving more

5 Every day habits that cause back pain

1) Poor posture-slouching or leaning forward puts extra pressure on the spine,discs, and supporting muscles
Fix: Sit with your shoulders back,feet flat,lower back supported and keep screens at eye level
2)Prolonged sitting or standing--staying in one position too long impedes circulation and strains low back muscles
Fix:Take breaks every 39 minutes to stretch,move,change positions
3)Improper lifting technique-bending from the waist or twisting while lifting puts stress on muscles,discs,and ligaments
Fix: bend your knees,keep your back straight and lift with your legs not your back
4)weak core muscles-dont support the spine
Fix: add planks,pelvic tilts and other core building exercise to your routine
5) sleeping on a bad mattress-causess spinal misalignment while sleeping
Fix: :choose a medium firm mattress,sleep with a pillow under your legs and avoid stomach sleeping

Happy Labor Day weekend! As summer ends there is a tendency to ease up on the activity and exercise thats easy to do in the summer. The longer days and nice weather make outdoor activity easier and more fun. But brisk walks,bike riding,golf, volleyball can all still be done in the nice cool fall weather. Exercise decreases blood pressure,keeps joint mobile, release endorphns and prevents inflammatory diseases like diabetes. Keep moving into the fall-your body will thank you

Summer may be winding down but there are still plenty of hours of sunlight every day. Being out in the sun stimulates Vitamin D production which is essential for bone health and immune regulation.
It also increases serotonin which can boost your mood and combat anxiety and depression. serotonin also helps regulate our sleep rhythms so it can improve sleep quality.
Make sure you get a daily dose of sun especially if you work inside all day

Pain isn’t always the beginning — or the end — of the story. Most dysfunction starts way before symptoms appear.

Here’s how it really happens:

1️⃣ You get injured (even slightly — like banging your knee)
2️⃣ You compensate to avoid pain
3️⃣ Your movement shifts subtly
4️⃣ Your brain rewires your proprioception
5️⃣ You “heal” — but the imbalance stays
6️⃣ Over time, you build poor movement patterns
7️⃣ Inflammation and wear-and-tear accumulate
8️⃣ Eventually, you cross the pain threshold

🧠 Repetition is what causes real damage — not just the injury itself.

If your movement is off, you’re already on the path to pain, even if you feel fine today.

🛠️ Fixing the root cause means correcting movement, not just masking symptoms.

What stretches are better before activity-static or dynamic?
After years of being told to stretch statically before physical activity the consensus is now that fluid stretches(running in place,lunges, jumping jacks) are better to prepare the body for an activity .
Static stretches (hamstring stretch,tricep stretch,quadricep stretch) are better after an athletic activity to aid recovery and increase flexibiltiy
