Here is a Podcast that I have been enjoying lately. I have been really interested to learn more about how technology is changing our bodies. I hope you enjoy it too!
You can listen to it in my Spotify playlist Essential Chiropractic recommends " The Body Electric Podcast"
or at the Body Electric website HERE
"Below is a quote from the introduction by Manoush Zomorodi, Host of the Body Electric Podcast."
"I want to welcome you to NPR’s Body Electric, a special 6-part investigation into the relationship between our technology and our bodies—and what we can do to make it better.
Something happened just a few seconds ago that was extraordinary. You tapped or clicked a button to play this podcast. You ever think about what powered your brain and body to make your finger do that? Well, it's the same thing that's powering the device you're listening to right now - electricity. They don't work exactly the same way, but our bodies and batteries have a lot in common. It is what makes us move, think and feel. Electricity is the spark of life. As the poet Walt Whitman famously wrote, I sing the body electric. To feel the pulse of the world in your veins is to feel alive.
But let's be real. These days, that vitality is waning. Our laptops and phones keep going. For many of us, spending hours attached to our devices - well, it's depleting us. We feel stuck in a vicious cycle of type, tap, collapse.
How can we maintain our energy when nearly 85% of jobs are mostly sedentary? And even when we're not working, so many of us spend the majority of our other time on screens, too. Well, I think it's time to find out, 'cause I'm not sure we can keep going like this."
