✨ Wednesday Word of the Day: Position
Your position is how your body is placed — whether you’re sitting, standing, or moving. 🌿
Maintaining the right position helps keep your spine aligned, reduces strain, and supports healthy movement patterns throughout your day.

👉 Take a moment to check your position right now — is your body supported and balanced?

🧍‍♂️ Standing Desks: A Step Toward Better Posture
Standing desks can help reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and encourage better posture — but balance is key! ⚖️

✅ Alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day
✅ Keep your screen at eye level and elbows at 90°
✅ Stand with even weight on both feet
✅ Use a footrest or anti-fatigue mat for comfort
✅ Move often — change positions every 30–60 minutes

✨ It’s not about standing all day — it’s about moving more and sitting smarter.

👉 Try adding short standing breaks to your workday and feel the difference!

Oral Bacteria May Drive Multiple Sclerosis

Scientists have mapped the oral microbiome of people with multiple sclerosis, revealing a breakdown in the mouth’s bacterial ecosystem.

MS patients showed reduced levels of “good” bacteria that support oral health and higher levels of microbes linked to inflammation.

They also had lower concentrations of hypotaurine, a metabolite that protects nerve cells.

The results suggest the mouth’s microbiome could become a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic target for understanding and treating MS.
