There’s a class of physical complaints that chiropractors and alignment experts call 'tech injuries,' and they are on the rise. These come from the small postural compromises we unconsciously make all day long from being tethered to computers and devices. These rolled or jutted-forward body shapes we fall into—sometimes for hours!—get repeated until they start pulling the spine out of alignment. This causes structural issues like back pain and hip imbalance and can also cause problems body-wide, because the nerve roots that run through the spinal canal, sending information throughout the nervous system, get pressured and cause localized dysfunctions. Headaches, digestive problems, and even fertility problems (and more) can be the unfortunate results.
This is a common misalignment of the handheld-gadget generation. Your neck juts forward as your eyes gaze at a device that’s held out in front of you or low down. Squinting to read an overly small font causes the same effect—you tend to jut your head forward to read. If you chronically look down, you will overstretch the back of the neck—and possibly cut off your breath, too. Tension headaches and migraines can ensue; so can tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, numb or tingling arms, pain between shoulder blades, and shoulder tendonitis.
Maintain an eye-level gaze no matter the device and ensure the font size is large enough to see easily. Never hold phones and tablets at lap level. Not only is it terrible for your reproductive system to have wireless devices anywhere near your lap, it angles your chin down and strains the neck. Practice holding them at eye level as you type, or use your phone’s dictation tool for texting. This spares your wrists and forearms unneeded stress. It may take a day or two to master, but after that it’s smooth sailing. If traveling by air, put your phone or tablet on a stand on the tray table while reading or viewing media. When you’re a passenger in a train or car, prop a small travel pillow under your elbow on the armrest to help you hold your device higher.
At your desk, ensure the center of your screen is at eye level whether you are sitting or standing. If you use a laptop, raise it on a platform—or even a big pile of books!—then accessorize with an external keyboard and an ergonomic mouse (which will counter any over-rotation of the wrist).
For both issues, practice the habit of bringing awareness to your body posture throughout the day. Notice if you are holding your breath, which further constricts the spine. Unfreeze yourself through conscious breathing, frequent movement, and making subtle adjustments as needed.
Carbohydrate tolerance is a gray area. The amount of carbohydrates that works for one person’s metabolism doesn’t always serve another’s. In the past decade I’ve seen a growing number of patients who have limited sugary foods and swapped out refined carbohydrates for whole-grain products, sweet potatoes, and fresh fruit for years. Yet they are overweight or have surges of fatigue, foggy-headedness, or cravings. Sometimes they don’t carry any extra pounds but have worryingly high levels of blood sugar. It’s not unusual for these issues to come on late in life; their response to a diet they used to do well on has suddenly shifted.
Why this happens is a topic of robust debate in nutritional circles. It’s likely a combination of factors: a genetic predisposition combined with a sedentary, stressful, and sleep-deprived lifestyle; decades of processed foods and medications that have altered the microbiome; or even (unfortunately) overconsuming the healthy-seeming multigrain breads, bananas, and beans, which all turn to sugar in the blood. All this can lower your personal 'set point' for tolerating carbohydrates, so that your blood sugars don’t fall back to normal within two hours of eating like they should. Instead, they stay elevated, going beyond what the cells can handle, and eventually this triggers chains of effects that lead to insulin resistance, the precursor to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, possibly Alzheimer’s disease, and even some cancers.
