A new study found that tens of millions of people worldwide are now exposed to toxic water runoff as a direct result of “green” metals mining operations. The reckless transition to “clean” energy has created an environmental disaster of epic proportions, the paper reveals. In just the few short years that green energy has been a thing, harvesting it has already caused more ecological damage to the planet than has the more than 150 years’ worth of drilling and mining for earth-based “fossil” fuels that has occurred since the industrial revolution. Green energy is anything but clean, and is certainly not good for the environment. All in all, some 23 million people worldwide (more than all the people who live in Florida), as well as 5.72 million heads of livestock; more than 16 million acres of irrigated farmland; and nearly 300,000 miles’ worth of rivers are all now contaminated by toxic byproducts of clean energy mining operations.

Lean muscle mass naturally decreases with age. Strength training helps maintain and build muscle mass, which is important for overall health. There are different types of strength training, and functional strength training is when you target multiple muscles per exercise rather than isolate just one. Lunging is an example of this, since it works muscles across the legs, hips, knees, and ankles all at once.

Rene Cailliet M.D., famous medical author and former director of the dept. of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Univ. of Southern California stated: “Head in forward posture (Tech/Text Neck) can add up to 30 pounds of abnormal leverage on the cervical spine (neck). This can pull the entire spine out of alignment. Forward head posture (FHP) may result in the loss of 30% of vital lung capacity. These breath-related effects are primarily due to the loss of the cervical lordosis, which blocks the action of the hyoid muscles, especially the inferior hyoid responsible for helping lift the first rib during inhalation.” It's not uncommon to observe 2 inches of anterior head placement in new patients. Would you be surprised that your neck and shoulders hurt if you had a 20-pound watermelon hanging around your neck? Left uncorrected, FHP will continue to increase. Chiropractic can be very corrective when it comes to FHP. Who do you know who might benefit from chiropractic care?
