We are in full swing of the 21st century with all its benefits but also alarming detriments. All correspondence is now primarily virtual. Interactions between humans, may it be business, casual acquaintances and worse, our more intimate partners has now become smart technology hands-free operations based. With so much time spent in our virtual world, our physical bodies, especially our neck and back, are suffering from diseases inclusive of obesity, migraine headaches and more chronic pains due to our habitual bad postures that we hold while we are “corresponding.”
“Virtual” Pain Is Real
Years ago we attributed that the most unhealthy people were typically those who had careers which required hard, repetitive physical labor, repetitive activities or those who were required to travel long distances in a poor sitting position in a car or truck. The hours, weeks, months, and years with these requirements which were typically done in an unhealthy position had been one of the largest contributors to poor health rather than an impact or accident.
Turn of The Century Change
As the age of digital technology became the ruler of careers and now for many virtual lives and social connections, our time sitting in poor postures has more than tripled and so has the rise in our health problems.
These health problems range from neck pain, back pain, headaches, and sciatica to the onset of many disease processes including obesity.
Although the solution of unplugging from our devices may seem simple, it is not that easy as many of our careers are dependent on them and as long as we are not inconvenienced with a life-threatening disease, we do not act. Unfortunately, hitting the escape key at that point is not that easy.
Re-Boot Your Health
At our practice, we see how human behaviors and our evolution of technology has shaped our society and impacted the way we use our bodies. Repetitive activities with poor posture are at an all-time high and continue to have predictably devastating effects on our health. If we do not implement change in our behaviors, the health of the next generation may get worse.
Because smartphones, computers and the virtual world are here to stay, let us help you begin to re-boot your actions with a few simple tips:
1. Get a standing desk or an ergonomically designed chair, preferably with a properly fitted backrest or better yet not at all.
2. Take regular breaks. Get up every 30-60 minutes to stretch for 30-60 seconds.
3. Do not sit or lounge on the sofa after your evening meal. Stand, stretch or walk for 10 minutes without your handheld device. Here is an added bonus, it will also stimulate your metabolism!

Is your future health worth a few minutes and a few minor changes in your behaviors? Absolutely!

A year later and our Facebook homepage posts are still filled with heartache by friends and family who are experiencing illnesses and life changing disabilities due to chronic disease. Our instantaneous world connection delivers not only the triumphs but the shares of how chronic disease has now touched more of our lives worldwide than ever before.
A Known Threat
This threat of chronic diseases is no longer a threat but now declared by the World Health Organization as the number one killer on the planet. Chronic disease is now the cause of over sixty percent of deaths worldwide which is up 10% from last year alone.
Alarming Facts By the World Health Organization:
- Chronic diseases are now the leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
- Noncommunicable conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, obesity, cancer and respiratory diseases, now account for 59% of the 57 million deaths annually and 46% of the global burden of disease.
- High-risk factors – high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, and alcohol – cause the majority of the chronic disease burden.
- A change in dietary habits, physical activity, and tobacco control, have a significant impact on reducing the rates of these chronic diseases, often in a relatively short time.
- Heart attacks and strokes kill about 12 million people every year; another 3.9 million die from hypertensive and other heart conditions.
- More than one billion adults worldwide are overweight; at least 300 million of them are clinically obese.
- About 75% of CVD can be attributed to the majority risks: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, low fruit and vegetable intake, inactive lifestyle and tobacco.
- Sustained behavioral interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing population risk factors.
Welcome To Another 21st Century Lifestyle Choice
Chronic diseases include things like heart disease and strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and dementia, and many others. These diseases are widely understood to be the result of our modern lifestyle choices. Over the past several decades, research has shown that these chronic illnesses are preventable in large part if we learn to make different choices. In other words, if we live differently.
Unfortunately, today people worldwide are consuming more foods that are energy-dense – high in sugar and/or saturated fats – or excessively salty. This nutritional shift to fast and processed foods in combination with our sedentary behavior is occurring at an alarming rate.
Predictions for the future are that this chronic illness crisis, as bad as it is today, will get much worse. Cancer rates have been predicted to go up by 50% by the year 2020 and one in three children born in the USA today will develop diabetes. As other research continues, it only highlights more that our toxic modern lifestyle is the cause.
Still the Best Cure is Prevention
As you know, prevention is the best cure. With today’s knowledge of identifying the cause, our expert team is here to help you change and build for a healthier future. We want to help you create a better lifestyle which includes what you think, what you eat, and how you use your body.
If you are currently suffering from a chronic disease, please do not hesitate to call us. We are here to help and look forward to posting your new lease on life success story! SHARE!!
