LAPTOPS, INFERTILITY & CANCER

TECHNOLOGY IS NOW IN OUR BLOOD AND MAYBE TOO MUCH SO......

We use laptops more than desktops these days. They are convenient, like "air", have faster speed, so portable, and keep us connected. It's GREAT to be connected, right?But there has been more research on the risk factors and we need to keep up with the latest.

We use laptops directly on our laps - seems logical, right?  Along with our great functionality of being "connected"
has been an increase with infertility (men use it more on their laps), cancer, and burns. This is the latest research and for those "Apple" users who say, "I'm protected" it's just not true. I'm one of those and I'm not protected and I thought I was using the safest and best technology. 

I've noticed my husband uses his laptop constantly actually hour after hour with his laptop on his lap. I've thought - this can't be good. Neither can sleeping with his phone in his PJ pocket, yikes. So for his birthday in April I bought him a lap desk pillow. He doesn't really use it much.  Stubborn or just used to doing things in the old fashioned way doesn't matter until I presented him with the facts. He has reconsidered. 

Children are more apt to radiation damage because their body cell/tissues are thinner which would expose MORE radiation to their
bodies with laptop and tablet usage. iPads/tablets expose "less" radiation but we need to restrict time and have them use them on a table or desk. 

We should "never" leave our cell phones on charge while we are using them, same with laptops, and iPads.  We should unplug when it reaches 100%, never use our cell phones in elevators because they are struggling for power and can do our little brains damage. Don't charge our phones next to our beds and use a headset when talking on the phone. Once you get used to that it's sooooo...... much easier. 

It's all PART of a healthy lifestyle picture: Boosting our immune systems with some healthy choices will create a more satisfying life:   7-hours of sleep each night, eating sensibly and within moderation, exercising daily, trying yoga or mediation, using personal care products that are safe like essential oils for calming our nerves, boosting our health, using products for cleaning that are not harmful, and drinking water instead of soda. 

I'm going to try Pilate's to strengthen my core and help me focus. I finally found a good instructor. It's my new goal.
Getting to the gym six days a week helps with my alertness and stamina. 
I use essential oils every single day to rejuvenate after a long day and on through an evening,  to help me sleep, enhance my mood, and calm me down so I can rest.

If you haven't tried them it's worth a try.

POSTURING - SO MANY MEANINGS

POSTURING IS IMPORTANT. It gets you better jobs, better relationships and BETTER HEALTH! HARD TO BELIEVE BUT IT IS TRUE.  When we stand, walk, and sit taller we are healthier, apt to be more active, more attractive, more employable, and have less health issues. Why is that?  It's the way we were made to operate. 

We breathe better, digest food better and our muscles are strengthened by just having better posture.  I was thinking I was doing the right thing about my posture.  I was wrong.  I was arching my back and that through off my alignment.  It caused back pain and leg pain.  So now I'm going through physical therapy and I am relearning how to "posture" my body.  Crazy, right? 

When my daughter, Melissa, says keep it simple I had no idea how it can apply to POSTURING.  

Have we evolved into better health or not?  With more and more computer usage, TV watching while slouching, online gaming, less physical outlets while we are working more hours, iPad/tablet usage, texting excessively
with head down, and so much more all contributing to poor posture it's no wonder our backs hurt and we are not as healthy. Where are you on the posture line up? 


It's a little adjustment - tuck in your pelvic bone,
allow the muscles in your back to become stronger by squeezing your shoulder blades together without arching your back, on the floor knees up press your back against the floor (hold for 5 seconds - 30 times), and practice eating or sitting at your computer with better posture. It will make a difference that will improve your life. 



Good luck in your quest for better POSTURING - it will make you feel better in every part of your life!  Coupled with good sleep, daily exercise, and a good diet full of greens it will make you feel on top of the world.
