Many of us spend significant amount of time sitting in front of computers, meetings, and airplanes. This has really bad effect on the lumber spine. When you sit for a long day, our back muscle becomes so tired that it simply gives up and we settle in a position that all the stress of the weight is on our vertebral discs.
A good device is this simple cushion. Simply put it on your seat, it will keep your muscles engaged, thus protecting your disc.

In my blog entry "Is Exercise for Burning Calories?", I talked about why it's not an efficient way of losing weight. In this post, I'd like to talk about other myths of exercises. Many people want to lose fat, especially fat in certain places, and believe, led by the fashionable trend, that they can do it by exercising that particular place, such abs. Unfortunately, this is not the case. To understand this, just pick up a teenager, and a 35 year old, with say, identical % body fat. So you'd say, proportionally they are equally fat. But you'll see the younger one has fat uniformly distributed throughout the body, while the older one loses fat in the face, neck, upper arm, and gains fat in the belly or hip, or upper leg. The redistribution is caused by genetic and aging, It's not dissimilar to how our hair changes. For male, as we age, the hair recedes at the temple, while at the same time, hair grows on the body, or nose, or ear, or eyebrows. You may build muscles, but you cannot hide the fat. That's why we see for many gym goers, they have beef'ed up muscles to be proud of, only have pockets of fat around their waist and belly. You can always tell a young body and a middle age body, no matter how he exercises, assuming the fat% is kept the same. Thus, the only way not to redistribute fat is to delay aging. If you can have a bio-age of 35, when at 60, you can show a physique of a 35!
Have you seen thin people with a belly?

I tried this chi machine. I am convinced it is a good product. For those who don't have time to do meditation, this machine would get your chi and blood flow in just 10-15minutes.
-------------------------------------
"One of the wonderful benefits of The Chi Machine® is that it allows the body to work effortlessly with its own natural frequencies. The 144 cycles per minute (oscillations), is both a multiple of the average pulse rate (72) and the cerebrospinal pump rhythm (12). Each person's body is influenced by the sum total of all the physical, emotional, mental and chemical forces that it is exposed to, and its ability to respond effectively to those forces."
- Dr. Jan Kirschner D.C.
"A session on the Chi Machine is usually 15 minutes in duration except during an acclimation period of several days during which the session length is gradually increased from a starting point of 3-5 minutes. During each session, your blood is oxygenated and you receive other benefits as described in the next section. When the session is over, the motion of the footrest ceases and there is an almost instantaneous movement of Chi from your feet to your head and then to your arms and hands. The feeling, described as a "strong tingling, suffusing the entire body" is quite exhilarating and lasts several minutes. With most users, the Chi flow is felt even at the end of the very first session of only 3-5 minutes -- which makes it a very easy device to demonstrate!"

The reason for reading glasses is due to eye muscles losing flexibility to zoom in and out. A simple yet effective exercise, while costing you no time, is the following:
When you read magazines, newspapers, novels, work documents during the day, allocate 15-20 minutes: Move the paper as far from your eyes as you can still read for one paragraph, then move it as close as you can to your eyes for another paragraph. Alternate between far and near positions from paragraph to paragraph.

Ears are like drums. Everyday when we hear things, we beat the drum. If the sound is too loud, the drum is beaten harder, and thus wore out faster. To stay young, we'd like to protect our ear drums! I use ear plugs for clubs (dancing), for airplanes (noise and pressure), for camping where a lot of snoring occurs, and for any ocassions that would potentially wear my ear drums. I found the best ear plugs (highest NRR rating, and most invisible) is the Beneficial Products' moldable ear plugs
